Event Details
The promise of A.I., in its systematic, efficient, and subtle application of data for accurate decision making, is vast. But where is the line properly drawn between its developing reality and visionary hype? And especially for small business, is it relevance that of the pioneer being the one gets the arrows or an available first mover advantage that ignored results in a long-term compounding detriment?
This month will feature an expert panel whose in-depth exposure to A.I. will set the stage for a discussion of both its conceptual foundations and practical implications. Hearing them will inform you on what companies are now doing with related processes and technologies, the impacts on business processes, and the trends to expect looking ahead. So join us for an overview that definitely will prove informative.
