August 2026 · Edith Cowan University

Muthukumar Murugesan, Bart Kuiper and the Lane8 team at ECU

About the session

Lane8 was invited to speak to students in Edith Cowan University’s MIS capstone unit.

Muthukumar Murugesan gave an inspiring talk, and Bart Kuiper shared insights from real working experience, all about how AI is actually being used in real business today.

What we shared

01Don’t use AI in a lazy way

AI should support learning, problem solving and better work, not replace thinking.

02Use it responsibly and safely

Stay aware of the cybersecurity risks AI can bring, and think about what you share with it.

03Think ahead

Plan how AI can be used sustainably and responsibly, for the business and for the future.
