PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT

Artificial Intelligence is moving fast—faster than most organisations can keep up. After previous NBAS Tech Circle sessions explored the basics of AI and its practical business applications, this next edition turns the lens forward: What will the AI landscape look like by 2030?

In this evening session, four expert speakers from different industries will help us unpack what’s coming next. From shifting computing paradigms and AI-native startups to ethical frameworks and human-AI collaboration, we’ll explore how technology, business, and society may be transformed in the years ahead.

Expect a mix of insight, speculation—and plenty of fuel for discussion over pizza and drinks.

In this session, Uma Rudd Chia—futurist, award-winning creative, and global speaker on AI—offers a glimpse into this quietly powerful future. One where AI becomes less visible, but more present than ever.
