David Hardoon: Aboitiz集团作为一家百年企业，正积极转型为科技集团，利用AI和数据分析技术提升各业务部门的效率和效益，例如在水泥生产、农业等领域取得显著成果。他强调AI治理与创新并非对立，而是相辅相成，通过建立公平、道德、责任和透明的框架，可以促进更安全、更负责任的AI创新。他还分享了在金融领域，人机协同决策的重要性，以及如何通过多部门合作，在保证合规的前提下，充分发挥AI的潜力。他认为AI的应用不应追求全自动化，而应根据实际情况选择合适的自动化程度，并始终保持人机协同，以避免潜在的风险和负面影响。 David Hardoon的观点基于其在Aboitiz集团和新加坡金融管理局的丰富经验，他强调AI应用的成功关键在于人机协同，需要与领域专家紧密合作，确保AI模型的准确性和实用性。他认为，AI监管应关注结果而非技术本身，重点在于确保AI应用不会造成歧视或其他负面影响。他还分享了自己从学术界转向工业界的经历，以及对AI未来发展的期许。 Sam Ransbotham: Sam Ransbotham赞同David Hardoon关于AI治理和创新的观点，并指出当前许多AI应用存在一种“人类中心主义”的偏见，即认为人类是AI的唯一老师，而忽略了AI可能带来的新发现和新视角。他认为，更有效的AI应用方式应该是人机协同、持续对话和相互学习，这更符合苏格拉底式对话的精神。 Sherwin Khodabandeh: Sherwin Khodabandeh与Sam Ransbotham的观点一致，强调人机协同的重要性，并指出AI的应用不应追求全自动化，而应根据实际情况选择合适的自动化程度。他认为，AI可以极大地提高生产力，但需要人类的参与和判断，以确保AI应用的安全性和可靠性。
