BCEC 2019 INTERVIEW
Kaja Ciglic, Senior Director, Digital Diplomacy at Microsoft
What is your observation (and perhaps a prediction) about how the technology and artificial intelligence will influence compliance, risk and other professions in the next 10 years?
"Compared with the world just 20 years ago, we take a lot of things for granted that used to be the stuff of science fiction. Clearly much can change in just two decades. At Microsoft, we imagine a world where digital devices will help us do more with one of our most precious commodities: time."
Which are in your opinion largest global risks that are having and will have major impact on compliance, risk or other field of your work and in what way?
"As we move forward, it will be essential for governments, the private sector, academia, and the social sector to join together to explore how to integrate AI in an ethical and responsible way. This will include new models of cooperation and regulation, given the speed of development and change today."
What projects and tasks are you currently working on?
"My focus currently is on cyberwarfare; seeking to understand how governments today are using cyberspace as a new domain of war. In my work I partner with a diverse set of stakeholders around the world to limit this practice, ensuring that the dangers to civilian and civilian infrastructure remain minimal."
What is your message for attendants of the 5th Annual Conference on Compliance and Ethics, 6-7 November 2019, in Bled?
"It is already clear that the companies and countries that will fare best in the AI era will be those that embrace these changes rapidly and effectively. This is because new jobs and economic growth will come to those that embrace the technology, not those that resist or delay adopting it. Second, while we believe that AI will help solve big societal problems, we must look to this future with a critical eye. There will be challenges as well as opportunities. We must address the need for strong ethical principles, the evolution of laws, training for new skills and even labor market reforms. This must all come together if we're going to make the most of AI."
Prof. ddr. Timotej Jagric, Full Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Maribor
Which is in your opinion the greatest advantage and disadvantage of humans vs. artificial intelligence?
"Humans behave and decide irrational and emotional. Not always, but in some fields this can lead to wrong decisions. Nevertheless, the key factor of a success in a company is still human with his creative potential, which cannot be imitated by any kind of known AI."
What is your observation (and perhaps a prediction) about how the technology and artificial intelligence will influence compliance, risk and other professions in the next 10 years?
"Technology can make them easier when a lot of data has to be evaluated in an extremely short time period. It can beware from human errors in business processes. However, risk experts will still need to see the unpredictable and be creative. Also, additional risks arise when AI is implemented into business process."
Which are in your opinion largest global risks that are having and will have major impact on compliance, risk or other field of your work and in what way?
"The inability of governments to act together against global networks or individuals committing crime, terrorism, tax evasion, environmental damage. New technologies also make possible to erode the foundations of an independent government like the loss of monetary sovereignty, which exposes companies to new risks."
What projects and tasks are you currently working on?
"At my institute, we are currently working on new types of artificial neural networks (3rd generation) which will be implemented in dedicated hardware. Such machines can be than used for different purposes like fraud detection, mechanical trading systems, medical diagnostic processes ..."
What is your message for attendants of the 5th Annual Conference on Compliance and Ethics, 6-7 November 2019, in Bled?
"Artificial intelligence can support your business but it is not a universal key to success and its implementation requires a lot of resources."
