An IMD masterclass on “Bridging the AI Divide between East and West”

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has been the hottest topic in tech for the last couple of years. What are the opportunities and risks and how can GenAI impact your organization?

In this masterclass, Michael Wade, IMD Professor of Strategy and Digital, and the Director of the TONOMUS Global Center for Digital and AI Transformation, as he delivers a session on the topic of “Bridging the AI Divide between East and West”.

Here’s a snapshot of the insights this masterclass will unpack:

  • Diverging AI Strategies in the East and West:  Explore how Eastern markets (e.g., China, Japan, India, South Korea) and Western counterparts (e.g., the US, Europe) differ in AI development, data governance, innovation speed, and ethical frameworks.
  • Strategic Implications for Southeast Asia: Examine how SEA businesses are being influenced by both sides, and how this dual exposure presents unique challenges and opportunities in AI adoption.
  • Practical Pathways for GenAI Adoption: Discuss actionable approaches for organizations in SEA and elsewhere to leverage the power of GenAI to improve performance.
