AI is moving fast. At DOA, we're making sure we move with it... 🏃♂️➡️ Our AI Committee meets regularly to do exactly that. Made up of team members from across the business, this group is focused on one thing: finding smart, practical ways to use AI to improve how we work, and ultimately, the service we deliver to our brokers. But speed without responsibility isn't progress. That's why security sits at the heart of everything we do with AI. Our Information Security Analyst, Thomas von Broen, leads the committee and ensures every idea is rigorously assessed before it goes anywhere near our operations.  Our passion is your success! #PoweredbyPeople #AICommittee #AIInovation
