We are joining Camp Opticon London on 13 October 2026 at the Barbican Centre. As the Gold Sponsor, we're contributing a speaking session to the event's important discussion on AI and human judgement.
Mark Welland, our Executive Vice President, will take the stage with "The Human Is Obsolete. Long Live the Human." The session is built around a single question: if AI is faster, cheaper, and always on, what is the argument for the human in the room?
Mark will introduce what he calls the "human algorithm": the specific moment in the AI workflow where human judgement changes the outcome, and why those turning points matter more, not less, as Opal and AI absorb more of the operational work.
The session offers a working framework for digital leaders weighing where to draw the line between automation and human decision-making within their own organisations. It complements the conversations about the future of digital experience our team will be having throughout the day at Camp Opticon London.
As the largest Optimizely Gold Partner, home to the largest team of certified Opal experts and a preferred Opal Partner, our perspective on responsible AI innovation is clear: AI can analyze information, automate tasks, and surface insights at speed. But knowing what matters, making the right call, and understanding the wider business context still requires people.
We believe this is the discussion every enterprise should be part of. If you're attending Camp Opticon London, we'd welcome you at our session to see what it means for your business.
