AI Done Right (and Wrong): Real Wins, Real Risks – Bolton
AI is moving fast, but not every use case is worth the hype or the risk. This session gives Greater Manchester businesses a practical, no-nonsense view of where AI is already delivering ROI, think productivity, customer service, forecasting and smarter decision-making and where it’s creating reputational, legal and operational headaches.
We’ll share real examples, quick-win frameworks, and “red flag” scenarios to avoid, including data privacy pitfalls, hallucinations in customer-facing content, and automation that quietly damages culture and trust. Expect a balanced discussion, clear do’s and don’ts, and a checklist you can take back to your team to prioritise the right projects now.
