Overview

For a lot of us, AI is intimidating or mysterious. How do we approach the topic in a workplace where AI may be seen as a threat or people don't know how it can impact their work? How do we integrate AI tools in a workforce already asked to know too many tools, systems or processes? How do we shape AI as an ally and not a burden? This session will tackle these and other questions to help demystify AI without asking anyone to become an expert.

Key learning objectives

The goal:  Understand how AI can be used to enhance individual and business performance.

  • The lingo:  What do all the terms mean?
  • Understanding the sortcomings:  What are the potential weaknesses in AI?
  • Individual use:  What can AI do for me?
  • Business use:  What can AI tools do for a business?
  • The needle in the haystack:  How do I find the right products when there are so many out there?
