AI is rewriting the rules of what's possible, and like it or not, every business and its leaders faces a critical inflection point. Harnessing AI could secure your future, but if you fail to adapt, you could fall irreversibly behind. But making AI work for you is easier said than done. An unprecedented pace of innovation means the landscape constantly shifts under your feet. And AI introduces new complexities that many organizations struggle to navigate.
With two decades guiding business leaders through the maze of emerging tech, Alison will give you grounding in the shifts we’re facing from a human perspective, and what to do about them. She’ll unravel the complexities of AI’s rapid progression, and provide a holistic view of its transformative impact on business and society. She’ll share insights on the long-term consequences and shifts in the competitive landscape, along with practical advice on how to foster an organization that’s ready for this next digital age.
In this interactive talk, Alison shares her insights as a mom with a 30-year career at the front edge of tech to prepare yourself and your family for an AI-driven world. Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping our cultural landscape, unlocking a new “possible” and altering what drives success. But it’s also bringing us new problems we need to navigate, from deepfakes and disinformation to ethical concerns in education, shifting job landscapes, and even questioning our understanding of what it means to be human.
How do we guide our families? What do we tell our kids about how to succeed in a future where AI is ubiquitous? How do we stay safe in an era of deepfakes everywhere? Where should AI be used—and not used—for schoolwork?
With stories and frameworks, Alison helps you to understand the nuances of AI's integration into our lives. You’ll come away with practical knowledge to personally engage with AI, and ready to engage in meaningful discussions with those around you.
AI is rapidly reshaping our world, promising to revolutionize sectors from healthcare to education, making what was once deemed impossible within our grasp. Its capabilities could accelerate breakthroughs to solve some of humanity's most pressing challenges. Yet, as we stand on the brink of this new era, we also face unprecedented complexities. The advent of AI brings forth questions about the essence of humanity, bias and ethics, the future of employment, and the integrity of our information landscape. Never has it been more urgent to critically engage with and consciously shape the trajectory of our digital future.
The conversation around AI oscillates between optimistic visions of a new renaissance and dire warnings of existential risk and catastrophic outcomes for humanity. The path forward requires us to thoughtfully navigate betweenthese polarities. This talk explores the contours of this landscape, examining both the promises AI holds and the caution it warrants.
