Event Description:
Artificial Intelligence is introducing transformational changes across all aspects of our society. It is delivering insights into complex problems that have eluded humans, providing unique capabilities that in some cases replace humans, and in others outperform humans. Your business most likely has begun to consider or even to adopt AI. But AI is not well understood.
This one-day seminar will provide auditors and managers with an understanding of what AI is (and what it is not), its risks, the methods for auditing and managing those risks and achieving enterprise value from AI, and ultimately how to be a leader in the successful adoption of AI.

Speaker:
Allan Cytryn, Principal, Risk Masters International
Allan Cytryn is a Principal with Risk Masters International. He has more than 35 years of experience in senior IT leadership roles, including Regional CIO for Deloitte, Director of Applications for Deloitte, CIO for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Vice-President of Corporate Finance at Gold-man Sachs, and Group Vice-President for Funds Transfer and Foreign Exchange at Bankers Trust Company. In these roles, Allan had a broad range of IT responsibilities, including Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning, and the implementation and operation of many high-performance mission-critical 24/7/365 system.
Allan began working in AI in the early 1970s, where he developed the first suite of AI systems to support computer assisted design in architecture and planning. This suite of systems reduced the time for facilities planning of large offices from 2-4 weeks to under 5 minutes, while providing a more consistent and higher quality design solution. He subsequently licensed these products to Computervision. Following that, he developed several AI systems that were deployed successfully in the financial services industry. At Goldman Sachs, he led the development of an AI-based multi-currency global equity valuation system that supported the Corporate Finance Department. The system reduced the time to develop equity valuation models from 6 weeks to 5 minutes. Also at Goldman, he developed the first system to use AI to identify “trades of interest” for screening for insider trading. At the law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, he developed an interactive research system that identified in seconds contextually relevant documents in a repository of more than 2,000,000 documents.
More recently, Allan has been involved in AI policy. In his work with the Boston Global Forum where he is on the Executive Board, he has co-authored with Governor Michael Dukakis and faculty from Harvard, MIT and Brown several papers on AI Ethics. In November, 2019, he presented at the BCI International conference in London on the subject of When your Artificial Intelligence Becomes Adversarial Intelligence: Risk and Control Considerations.
