As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly influences our daily lives, it is essential to explore how we and our organizations are adapting to these changes. To facilitate this discussion, we have curated a distinguished panel of leaders and executives for a fireside chat on the topic: “How is artificial intelligence creating both disruptions and opportunities for our businesses and organizations?”

Our panelists will share their insights and experiences with AI across various sectors, including technology, financial services, non-profit, energy, and academia. This diverse range of perspectives will provide valuable insights into how AI is reshaping our industries.
