Technology is transforming how organisations compete, but even in Formula 1, where data can model thousands of scenarios and inform decisions in fractions of a second, technology alone doesn’t determine who wins. The final call still depends on human judgement: knowing when to trust the numbers, when to challenge them and when instinct, experience or creativity can create an advantage.

In this conversation, the Financial Times and Aston Martin will explore what the pursuit of high performance can teach business leaders about competing in the age of AI. Where does technology genuinely improve decision-making? When does an abundance of data become a constraint rather than an advantage? And as access to technology becomes increasingly democratised, could human judgement become more valuable, not less

Bringing together the racetrack and the boardroom, the discussion will focus on how leaders can harness technology while preserving the instinct, imagination and calculated risk-taking that create competitive advantage.
