DECODE Returns: Can Machines Really Understand Us?

3 weeks ago 15

When we think of AI, we picture efficiency, automation, and data-driven decisions. But what about empathy? Can machines ever truly understand human emotions, or are they just programmed to mimic what we expect to hear?

In today’s digital world, AI is reshaping how businesses interact with customers. The challenge is no longer just about speed and accuracy; it’s about making those interactions feel genuinely human. That’s where the next DECODE webinar, hosted by DBS Tech India in collaboration with AIM Media House, comes in.

In the fourth episode of the DECODE webinar series, the discussion will explore the complex relationship between AI and human connection. Are machines truly capable of empathy, or are they just optimising responses to appear to be caring? 

The webinar will take place on April 15, from 5-6 PM IST via Zoom.

Industry leaders Kiran Koduri, executive director and head of future-ready technology at DBS Tech India, and Anish Agarwal, vice president of AI and automation at Warner Bros. Discovery will lead this discussion. 

Koduri brings over two decades of expertise in banking and fintech. His leadership has driven innovation in financial services, making AI an integral part of customer experiences.

Agarwal is at the forefront of AI strategy and automation. With past leadership roles at Dr Reddy’s Laboratories, NatWest Group, and Clifford Chance, he has a deep understanding of AI’s potential and pitfalls in driving business impact.
