AI Strategy and Ethics in Today’s World

Using AI Strategically to Transform Your Business

Join us in a Zoom AITP meeting with two industry experts to discuss AI Strategy and Ethics in the world of AI. As AI expands everywhere it will be key to have a well thought out strategy and understand the ethics behind the use of AI.

It has been stated that “If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” (Omar N. Bradley, 1948)

That was before the days of generative AI.

AI is playing an active role in streamlining business operations in areas like hiring employees and developing marketing collateral, and it is a powerful tool to support business strategy, but there are also risks including privacy and ethical concerns. One needs to understand the benefits of using AI as well as the potential pitfalls.

Join us for insights on how to use AI strategically in transforming the business landscape.
