BY ELIZABETH WEST WITH BRUCE
Bruce McIndoe, joined by Unlock Advisors founder Cara Whitehill, American Express Global Business Travel EVP of product and strategy Evan Konwiser, Cornerstone Systems CEO and co-founder Mat Orrego and Grapevine founder and CEO Jack Dow, analyzed some of the go-forward propositions for AI and managed travel during the Innovate session.
This article captures highlights of the discussion and addresses how a new generation of tech will rewrite the rules of travel management innovation, and what buyers can do to prepare.
The development of generative AI has been a lengthy process, with experts, including Bruce McIndoe, founder and CEO of McIndoe Risk Advisory, considering it to be in its early stages. Bruce McIndoe emphasizes that generative AI, like ChatGPT, relies on mathematical computations and tokenization of words or characters to generate human-like responses; the process may seem simple, the scale at which machines perform these tasks is significant, making it appear almost magical, but without human prompts, the technology would collapse on itself. There are serious concerns within systems, with issues of factuality, bias, quality, plagiarism and IP. Questions of intellectual property, privacy and data ownership are real for every industry. Yet, so are the possibilities.
Despite the challenges, there are significant possibilities for generative AI in various industries including Travel and Risk.

DUTY OF CARE and beyond
TRAVEL OPTIMIZATION is a team sport
Who is a "UNIFIED PROTECTOR" ?
DUTY OF CARE spells out the responsibilities an organization has for its people. This includes making the workplace safe, preventing risks to health and ensuring safe working practices are set up and followed. There is a lot to deal with between these areas and the onus is on a variety of managers to ensure nothing falls between those cracks. But who, or how, can a diverse team accomplish this effectively and efficiently?
Before COVID-19, most organizations tasked a patchwork of groups with largely stove-piped activities to meet Duty of Care responsibilities. The pandemic has put a focus on the entire organization taking care of all of its people every hour of every day.
