We will explore how AI is being used and the implications of AI for the future of our profession.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has long captured our imagination, from the fictional HAL 9000 to IBM Watson’s real-world Jeopardy win. But AI is no longer just science fiction—it's a part of our daily lives through platforms like Google Home, Netflix, and Amazon. In this insightful webinar, you'll explore the real-world applications of AI, its rapid evolution, and what it means for the future of professional work.
This session highlights how AI is shifting from a support tool to a decision-making force, raising important questions about automation, professional judgment, and the evolving role of human expertise. Whether you're new to AI or seeking to understand its impact on your industry, this presentation offers a clear, thought-provoking overview of AI’s growing role in our personal and professional lives.
