AI flooded the market a few years ago, and we were all instantly engulfed—surrounded, overwhelmed, and gasping to keep up.

Now, we’re excited but skeptical. We want it, and we don’t. We use it for grocery lists and for complex code. We use it blindly, and we use it with wary suspicion, knowing it can spectacularly succeed or fail. 

 

In this presentation, we will define where we are with AI adoption and what will happen next. We will discuss what currently works, what doesn't work, and what may never work. We will also share our recommendations of how you can succeed in an AI-obsessed world.

The arrival of AI is similar to the launch of the World Wide Web and personal PCs. This presentation focuses on applying the lessons we learned then as we move forward with a powerful new technology that will massively impact our future.

Takeaways

In this session, you will learn:

  • Where we are now in the AI adoption process
  • How AI is influencing business and what's next
  • What we think works and what we think doesn't work
  • How to succeed with AI
