Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) recently hosted Mr. Stephen Brobst, Chief Technology Officer Teradata Corp, for a thought-provoking discussion on the convergence of technology and Generative AI. Brobst emphasized the need for companies to adopt Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) not just for cost efficiency but for its profound effectiveness in reshaping internal structures. The power of AI has unlocked the potential of using massive data available for strategic decision making. Now it is the time that business and governments both should use this as a resource for transformation of businesses, economies and societies.

On the question of whether AI will replace humans, Brobst offered a nuanced perspective. He suggested that only roles devoid of cognitive thinking are at risk, and individuals embracing AI will surpass those who do not. He maintained that the synergy of human acumen and AI capabilities propels us into an era of unparalleled possibilities.

M Abdul Aleem CE/ Secretary General OICCI thanked Mr. Stephen Brobst for conducting this engaging and enlightening session. He shared that OICCI embraces the transformative power of AI, recognizing its ability to refine industries by fostering intelligence, efficiency, and personalized solutions. He also thanked Waqas Hashmi, Area Vice President, Pakistan for arranging this session.
