Beyond the Hype: A CIO’s Take on AI Strategy
About the event
An honest fireside chat about AI with Billy Martin, Chief Information Officer at HIF Australia, and Lane8 co-founder Muthukumar Murugesan.
Billy did not see the questions beforehand. No script, no rehearsed answers and no vendor pitch. Just an open talk about what AI really looks like inside a real, regulated business.
What we talked about
01AI and trust
How to get real value from AI while keeping sensitive information safe, and why trust has to come first in a regulated business.
02More than technology
AI is not just an IT project. Governance, risk and clear responsibility matter as much as the tools.
03Polished is not the same as good
When anyone can make something that looks great, the harder job is for the reader. How do managers and clients spot real thinking and value?
On the night
Billy did not see a single question before the night. That made for an honest, unscripted conversation, and the audience questions kept it going right to the end.
Thank you
A big thank you to Billy Martin for being so open and generous with his time, and to Muthukumar Murugesan for leading such an honest conversation.
And to everyone who came along and asked such thoughtful questions, thank you. We hope to see you at the next one.
