The intersection of advanced IoT and AI within big data and the cloud is transforming how technology is interacting and supporting business and enterprise – creating smart-data and smart-cloud systems causing a knock-on impact with regulatory and legal ramifications.
International experts will converge on Sydney for CeBIT Australia in May to share insights into smart solutions for digital transformation, customer-centric applications and intelligence opportunities – and what they mean for the future of businesses and regulatory reforms.
Winston Chew, director – regional information security officer at GSK Singapore, who will deliver the keynote address at the Cloud Conference, commented on how leveraging smart-cloud intelligence opens opportunities for better business performance.
“With the convergence of new technologies, AI and IoT are playing major roles in automated decision systems on the cloud. The future challenge becomes how we create smart solutions that will adapt with new technology and remain agile and customer focused, while maximizing the intelligence and adhering to security, privacy and regulation laws,” he said.
“The question business and enterprise technology leaders will need to ask going forward is ‘how smart is my cloud and how is it turbocharging our digital transformation journey?’”
Recognizing the need to balance risk and usability within cloud technology, Anthony Wong, immediate past president of ACS, and CEO, AGW Lawyers & Consultants, said law and policy makers need to mitigate the repercussions of these advanced technologies on the public including on the accountabilities and responsibilities of virtual and human actors.
“As our reliance on cloud technology continues to increase, we need to understand the potential dark side and ramifications. As AI-enabled IoT devices interact, communicate and facilitate transactions over the cloud, it is expected that decision points will move closer to data collection and the users – adding to the complexity of the legal compliance around privacy and liability,” Wong said.
“For example, the wider implications of these growing technologies call into question the very nature of our transactional economy – can cloud technology withstand the integrity of smart transactions between machine intelligence and humans? And what are the legal ramifications when a machine-learning device makes the wrong call on your behalf?”
A keynote panel within the big data and analytics stream, ‘Building smart service through data, collaboration and IoT’ will see commercial and government leaders discuss how data and smart services are changing the urban environment to benefit communities. Panelists will include Dorte Ekelund, Principal Advisor – Smart Cities, SMEC; Prakash Kuttikatt, Head of Business Intelligence and Data, CBA; Gemma Van Halderen, First Assistant Secretary, Open Data Efficiencies – Data Sharing, Collection and Integration, Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and Ferhod Sarmed, Data and Analytics Director, Amaysim.
The panel will be hosted by moderator Dr Ian Oppermann, chief data scientist and CEO, NSW Data Analytics Centre, NSW Treasury.
