Business leaders to discuss practical AI use at European University Cyprus on October 19

Nicosia, Cyprus. Panis.News, in collaboration with GrantXpert and Future Skills Hub, will hold AI in Practice: Changing the Future of Business at European University Cyprus on Monday, October 19. The evening event will bring founders, business owners, CEOs and senior executives together to discuss what AI could change in their organisations.

Identifying business needs

The discussion will focus on identifying the problems businesses want to solve before deciding which AI tools to buy. Examples include staff spending hours on repetitive tasks, customer information being spread across systems that do not communicate, and businesses lacking the time or resources to test a new service.

The event will examine how AI might fit into businesses by considering their customers, processes and people, rather than treating the purchase of a subscription as the starting point.

Customer requests, report preparation and decisions awaiting approval are among the everyday activities that frame the discussion about where AI could be useful.

Programme and opening session

The evening’s programme will approach the challenge from three directions.

Monica Odysseos, Head of the AI and Data Lab at Grant Thornton Cyprus, will open with a session addressing why business leaders should care about AI. She will explore how it is changing the way people work, make decisions and create.

Odysseos has a background spanning software development, accounting and applied AI, bringing technical and business perspectives to the discussion.
