INTERACTIVE SESSION The Traps of AI: Misrepresentation, Bias, and the Limits of Existing Data

Opening Question

“If your AI is trained on incomplete data, who is it really working for – and who is it leaving behind?” 

Key Focus Areas

  • How reliance on historical datasets creates systemic gaps, leaving underrepresented groups without sufficient data to ensure accurate AI outputs
  • Exploring the real-world impact of misrepresentation through live audience polling and scenario-based discussions
  • Challenging assumptions: where do we overtrust AI, and how aware are organisations of its limitations?
  • Practical steps to improve outcomes, including how to identify bias and push for more inclusive, representative data

Format

This session will be highly interactive, using live polling, audience Q&A, and scenario-led discussion to test perceptions and uncover blind spots. Attendees will respond to real-world scenarios, compare perspectives across the room, and collectively explore how bias and data gaps influence decision-making in practice.

Resilient Clinical Trial Teams: Using Mindfulness to Improve Focus, Communication, and Quality Under Pressure

Clinical trial teams today operate in increasingly complex, high-pressure environments involving cross-functional coordination, tight timelines, regulatory demands, vendor management, and constant operational decision-making. Over time, sustained cognitive overload and communication strain can impact focus, collaboration, leadership presence, decision-making, and overall quality of execution. This session explores how mindfulness can be practically applied within clinical operations environments to support more effective ways of working in high-demand, fast-paced clinical environments.

This session explores:

  • The science behind mindfulness and its relevance in high-pressure professional environments
  • What mindfulness is and how it supports focus, resilience, communication, and emotional regulation
  • Practical, doable, and immediately applicable mindfulness-based tools that can help clinical operations professionals strengthen focus, communication quality, resilience, decision-making, and sustained performance under pressure
  • This session will end with a group meditation
