Please join us for an exclusive, interactive event examining AI’s impact on India’s business landscape. The event will feature a unique opportunity to engage with your digital twin!
About the Program:
Keynote: Olivier Toubia, the Glaubinger Professor of Business, Columbia Business School, will deliver the keynote, “Digital Twins—Accurate Reflection or Distorted View?” offering a look at the CBS Digital Twins Initiative, groundbreaking research that involved creating thousands of open-source digital “people" who behave like consumers and can potentially be used in business practice and research.
Interaction with digital twin: The talk will be followed by an exciting interactive event: You will have the unique opportunity to engage with your own digital twin, and see how well your digital twin reflects you.
(Note: A few days prior to the event you will receive an email and/or a WhatsApp message. Please be sure to open it and complete the short survey that will allow us to create your digital twin for the purposes of this exercise only.)
Debate: A fast-paced debate in a participatory format will feature speakers presenting a motion and then challenging one another on the motion, “Rapid AI adoption will be a net positive for India.” The debate will be moderated by Gita Johar, the Meyer Feldberg Professor of Business, Columbia Business School. You’ll vote on your side both before and after the event. Let’s see if the speakers can change your mind!
