Hollie participated as an AI panellist at the Connections for Prosperity Conference (#CFP24), held on the 18th of September at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. The panel which Hollie hosted, which took place at 14:10, focused on the role artificial intelligence could play in the development and growth of the West Midlands.

During the discussion, Hollie and fellow experts shared insights on how AI can drive regional innovation, boost economic resilience, and contribute to the prosperity of the West Midlands in the future.

Hollie spoke about AI Skills and AI readiness in business, there are lots of opportunities for businesses to utilise AI to grow and innovate. AI is not just about asking ChatGPT questions but moving to a data driven culture and introducing things like machine learning to predict patterns in data to empower better decision making or introducing Microsoft Copilot to help deal with FAQ’s on a website for example.

Hollie also spoke about the need for schools engagement to help bring the curriculum to life in respect to AI and basic digital skills and this is something all businesses can support.

Richard Parker (Mayor of the West Midlands) shared his perspectives at the conference on the challenges and opportunities facing the West Midlands region and crucially what his is doing as a leader within politics to address them.
