Are Skilled Professionals Really Safe from Robots?

Before people tear off everywhere for the summer, Balliol Knowledge Networks in collaboration with the London Alumni Clubs of Harvard, Brown, Johns Hopkins and Columbia launches our RegTech series. Here we explore how far professional roles are under threat as compliance issues are being streamlined by shrewd tech. We examine the investment upside and social impact? “Are humans defunct? Are Skilled Professions Really Safe from Robots”?

As before, the style will be a robust back-and-forth among panellists and attendees, not a hierarchical format. Led once again by Hayley Ard (Trinity, Oxford), the RegTech panel is:

Vasilis Tsolis, Co-Founder & CEO Cognitiv+ LTD, a start up that extracts knowledge from legal data for companies and law firms, and monitors regulatory and legislative change to trigger alerts when action is required.

Jason Morgan, tech strategist at Microsoft.

Ramin Takin, Founder and CEO of Parkwaylogic, whose EXabler tool digitises mercantile trade compliance processes & documentation.

Fabrice Bienfait, ETF Partners on the finance side

Dr Lewis Z. Liu – Co-founder & CEO of Eigen Technologies, also bringing AI to magic circle legal services

Hephzi Nicol, Board Member of Balliol Knowledge Networks and founder of of Kiteka, sums up.

Our intention is to expand the participation and scale of these events as the RegTech series progresses and to shift initiative in design and execution of collaboration towards our participants. This will build a rapidly expanding cohort beyond the habitually closed borders of our separate alumni associations. Hence we build: Open Knowledge Networks – for Knowledge Without Borders.
