Yet the same AI agents and systems can also amplify misinformation, trigger reputational harm or create new ethical dilemmas. AI has the power to accelerate a response but it can just as easily accelerate a crisis.

This session explores both sides of AI in crisis preparation and management. Developing your understanding as to how to use it responsibly to strengthen resilience and capability - and how to anticipate and address the risks AI itself introduces.

AI agents and systems extend beyond theoretical promise. They are in daily use for monitoring, forecasting and communication. They can scan vast datasets for early warning signals, map stakeholder sentiment as situations develop and generate tailored updates in seconds but at the same time, deepfakes, automated misinformation and opaque algorithms present real and present risks.

This session equips you to navigate both realities, embedding AI into your crisis management with foresight, conscience and control.
