Featuring
Dr. Jordan Thayer, AI Practice Lead, SEP
Rob Herbig, AI Practice Lead, SEP

Overview

AI captured the attention of the world—for better or worse. Hype, noise, and fear dominated the headlines, with a huge focus on ChatGPT and its competitors.

Lost in the jumble was the big picture: AI had been around for decades and was already impacting our everyday lives.

In this session, we re-centered the AI discussion for business by:

  • Demystifying ChatGPT functions and limitations, along with the rest of the AI landscape
  • Outlining business needs addressed by AI and providing real-life examples
  • Discussing the current state of AI, what was working well, and what to look out for

The webinar also included strategies to deploy AI products in organizations. We covered staffing, data quality and cleaning, security, and privacy concerns.

This session gave participants the opportunity to better understand how AI could enhance team performance and streamline operations. Experts in the field of AI software peeled back the theoretical layers and discussed practical, tangible tools and benefits for integrating AI into business strategies.
