She is a futurist and the Founder of WAYE, an organization that helps prepare the next generation of business leaders for a world radically transformed by technology. She is an eight-time United Nations speaker and certified in AI Ethics from MIT. [3:11] Sinead is here to provide a preview of her upcoming RIMS Canada Conference 2023 appearance on September 12th when she will discuss AI's role in the future of work. [3:22] Justin welcomes Sinead Bovell to RIMScast! [3:46] Sinead studied finance, and chemistry, and was working on an MBA, studying under a futurist. She learned that all the tools she was using in finance, statistics, and forecasting could be applied to emerging technologies and more quality information and start to build forecasts about the future. [4:12] That's when Sinead started to zoom in on how technology is going to disrupt how we live and how companies work and operate. That was a light-bulb moment for Sinead. However, she continued down the MBA path and became a management consultant before making a quick turn, moving to New York and starting a different life. [4:36] Since then, Sinead is an active, practicing futurist. She gives talks, she consults, she guides public-sector and private-sector organizations, on how the future could be evolving, relating to the data, so we can have a little more control in moving toward the futures we want. [5:09] Sinead's aha moment happened after all the sacrificing. She knew she had to quit. There was no direction of what step she should take but an inner feeling that something wasn't right. She realized she was going to have to build the life she wanted. She wouldn't be able to apply for it. [5:54] During Sinead's MBA, she saw the role technology was playing in disrupting all elements of how we work and live. Tesla was making a lot of ripples in the market. She saw different disruptors stepping in and the different ways startups were positioning themselves around technology and artificial intelligence even before Generative AI. [6:25] There were early indicators and it was quite clear to Sinead that how we work and live were going to be disrupted by this technology, if and when it fully manifested.. [7:46] Sinead suggests that strategic planning shouldn't stop at years three to five but be carried forward for four to six years. You'll see the AI disruptors better and move toward them instead of reacting to them. [8:36] We've arrived at a moment when you can no longer deny the power of artificial intelligence technology and it forces you to act radically and boldly even if it feels like it's out of your comfort zone. Some of it is hype. Don't get lost in the “NFT-PTSD zone.” Make sure that you're not distracted but focused on the actual signals in the data. [9:32] A lot of companies are realizing, it doesn't matter what industry you consider yourself; you are now a tech company. We are rebuilding all industries on top of technologies like AI and potentially, blockchain. That has forced risk managers and leaders to shed their risk aversion and step into the game. [10:14] Everything we do today creates a digital “gravesite” for all the decisions we've made and things that we share. It's in the digital world forever after. Your descendants will be able to see how you weighed in at certain moments in time. There is a wide net over what we consider our digital identity. [11:43] RIMS plug time!

Webinar registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [15:00] Sinead Bovell will be at the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 in September. The theme for the conference is “Risk Evolution...Be a Part of It.” Sinead says risk professionals need to recognize that AI is essentially a prediction machine. What risk comes down to is what margin of error or safety you are willing to put on a decision. [15:38] We're going to have systems that can make the cost of prediction close to nothing while going toward an accuracy of close to 100%. This should be a lightbulb moment for anybody who works in risk or risk management that we now have an intelligent agent around the clock that we can tap into. [16:03] There are risks with this technology. If you use AI, you are becoming an AI company. There are ethical challenges. Where is your data being sourced? Are there biases embedded in the data? Who are the teams making decisions about what data gets to be used? These are conversations that are required for working with AI. [16:32] Embedding the technology in our decision processes, move away from the scarcity thinking of how can this technology cut a workload to move toward how can it add value. AI isn't here for you to pass your work to. It's here to reach new markets and ideate things in different ways. It will help you add a lot of value. [17:25] Sinead discusses the Canadian risk landscape. Finance in Canada is more stable than in many nations around the world. Canada is endowed with a lot of natural resources. Canada is relatively stable which can help make predictions even more accurate. [18:29] About RIMS Canada Conference 2023. Sinead can't believe it's only three weeks away. It will be great to see everybody. She's looking forward to talking about our future with AI. Sinead has been to Ottawa but this will be Justin's first time in the city. Sinead recommends Justin to have the beaver tail pastry and long walks in the September sun. [19:34] The focus of Sinead's Plenary Session at the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 will be “A Future with Artificial Intelligence.” It will span from how we live, day-to-day, at work and at home. When we all have AI assistants, our lives will be transformed. If the moderator permits, Sinead will take questions from the audience. [20:16] Justin is looking forward to the RIMS Canada Conference 2023 in Ottawa, September 11th–14th, 2023 and he looks forward to seeing Sinead then.

Deval Patrick is a politician, civil rights lawyer and businessman who served as the 71st governor of Massachusetts from 2007 to 2015. He is the only African-American to have served as governor of Massachusetts. Born to and raised by a single mother on the South Side of Chicago, Patrick attended Harvard University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. After graduating, he practiced law with the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and later joined a Boston law firm, where he was named a partner, at age 34. In 1994, Bill Clinton appointed him as the United States assistant attorney general for the civil rights division of the United States Department of Justice, where he worked on issues including racial profiling and police misconduct. During his governorship, Patrick oversaw the implementation of the state's 2006 health care reform program; increased funding to education and life sciences; won a federal Race to the Top education grant; and raised the state's minimum wage from $8 per hour to $11 per hour by 2017. Under Patrick, Massachusetts joined the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Patrick is now a managing director at Bain Capital and currently serves as the chairman of the board for Our Generation Speaks, a fellowship program and startup іnсubаtor whose mіѕѕіоn іѕ to bring together young Israeli and Palestinian leaders through entrepreneurship. Deval Patrick is a politician, civil rights lawyer and businessman who served as the 71st governor of Massachusetts from 2007 to 2015.

Michelle Alexander is a highly acclaimed civil rights lawyer, advocate, and legal scholar. Alexander is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and Stanford Law School. Following law school, she clerked for Justice Harry A. Blackmun on the U.S. Supreme Court and for Chief Judge Abner Mikva on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Prior to entering academia, Alexander served as the director of the Racial Justice Project for the ACLU of Northern California, where she coordinated the Project’s media advocacy, grassroots organizing, coalition building, and litigation. The Project’s priority areas were educational equity and criminal justice reform, and it was during those years at the ACLU that she began to awaken to the reality that our nation’s criminal justice system functions more like a caste system than a system of crime prevention or control. She became passionate about exposing and challenging racial bias in the criminal justice system, ultimately launching and leading a major campaign against racial profiling by law enforcement known as the “DWB Campaign” or “Driving While Black or Brown Campaign.” In addition to her nonprofit advocacy experience, Alexander has worked as a litigator at private law firms including Saperstein, Goldstein, Demchak & Baller, in Oakland, California, where she specialized in plaintiff-side class-action lawsuits alleging race and gender discrimination. In 2005, she won a Soros Justice Fellowship, which supported the writing of "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" (The New Press, 2012), and that same year she accepted a joint appointment at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity and the Moritz College of Law at Ohio State University. She currently devotes much of her time to freelance writing; public speaking; consulting with advocacy organizations committed to ending mass incarceration; and, most important, raising her three young children—the most challenging and rewarding job of all. In this plenary address from the 2016 AAR Annual Meeting, Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas (Goucher College) interviews Alexander, and the women converse in turn about racial (in)justice, the election, and religion's role in U.S. politics. The session is introduced by 2016 AAR president, Serene Jones. This plenary was recorded during the 2016 Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, on November 20.

Julián Castro, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama, speaks on housing, his childhood, and political action. Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado presides. This plenary session was recorded on November 21, 2016, in San Antonio, Texas, at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion.

The 2015 Annual Meeting Plenary was a discussion with author Wendell Berry and Kentucky State Historian Dr. James C. Klotter, moderated by KET personality Renee Shaw. Berry and Klotter discussed the importance of studying the past as a way to prepare for the future. Berry is an author and Kentucky treasure, famous for his writings on nature and ecology. Klotter received his Ph.D. in history from the University of Kentucky. He is the author, co-author, or editor of almost twenty prize-winning books, including the standard works on Kentucky used at the elementary, secondary, and college level. Shaw is the host of Connections with Renee Shaw on Kentucky Educational Television.
