In highly regulated industries like healthcare and energy, a lot is at stake if an AI system “fails” – therefore leading to a higher risk of unintended consequences that could mean life or death.

To dive into what that means for highly regulated industries and beyond, we’re joined by Cal Al-Dhubaib. Cal is the Head of AI and Data Science at Further and founder of Pandata (which was acquired by Further in 2024).
