AI: THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE AND PRACTICAL AND 7 LESSONS FOR IMPLEMENTING AI IN YOUR COMPANY

AI is one of the most transformative technologies of our generation. Computers can now create, “see,” “hear,” predict, and perform a wide variety of human tasks. Recent developments in AI (including generative AI, computer vision, machine learning, and robotics) will impact every business and aspect of our lives with both positive and negative effects.

As a result, every organization needs to ask itself, what is its AI strategy? Michelle Lee is an MIT AI Lab-trained computer scientist who has spent her career advising some of our country’s most innovative AI/data-driven companies (Amazon and Google), which gives her unique perspectives on the applications of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning.

In this engaging talk, Michelle cuts through the hype and brings the high-level talk down to reality with concrete examples and recommended actions. Audiences will come away with the 7 lessons for AI implementation that can help their companies increase operational efficiencies, enhance customer experiences, and generate new revenue.

REAL IMPLICATIONS OF GENERATIVE AI: THE PROMISE AND PERILS OF AI AND HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN AI-CENTRIC WORLD

AI is powerfully transforming virtually every aspect of our business and personal lives including the way we analyze data, make predictions, generate content, delight our customers, grow revenue and increase operational efficiencies. However, there are challenges to using generative AI for organizations in terms of accuracy, copyright, bias, regulations, and more.

Just because something can be achieved by AI doesn’t mean it should. Based upon her unique multidisciplinary experiences from the top levels of technology, business, law and government, Michelle Lee shares with her audience concrete examples of incredibly powerful business applications of AI, some associated risks, and how to balance the two to lead organizations to leverage responsible, reliable and trustworthy AI applications.

For this thought-provoking yet practical talk, Michelle Lee draws upon her experiences as a technologist and AI expert who has spent her career building and advising the most innovative AI/data-driven companies like Amazon and Google, her time as a top-ranked government official (Under Secretary of Commerce and Director of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office) and her experiences as a lawyer and policy maker to examine the practical implications of Generative AI for organizations.

Audiences will come away understanding where to lean-in on AI and Generative AI, where not to, and how to leverage AI for competitive advantage.
