About the Event:
Join us for a complimentary virtual briefing on February 26th from 12:00 - 1:00 pm ET, Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Workplace, a panel discussion with top innovators and AI specialists who will discuss AMA’s latest survey findings on how AI is impacting today’s workforce. Our expert panel includes Blade Kotelly of MIT School of Engineering, John Da Silva, MBA, Cornell University and Jeremy Utley of Stanford University.
With advances in AI technology increasing exponentially, AMA recognized the urgency of determining how well organizations, leaders and their teams are keeping pace with AI. In addition, we wanted to learn the extent to which AI awareness, knowledge, strategies and applications have evolved over the past year. Our results indicate that the changes have been significant, and these and related matters will be discussed at this important and exclusive briefing.
Join us and discover:
- Survey findings comparing employee and organizational engagement in AI over the past year—and if businesses are responding the way they need to
- Insights on how managers, leaders and skill development can support the success of AI in your organization
- How to reframe mindsets that may be holding you back—and leverage strategies to improve your comfort level with AI
You will take away actionable insights to help you break down “the AI wall,” hear from leading experts on where organizations are and need to be in their AI journey, and much more.
Attendance is complimentary but registration is required.
Bonus: One selected attendee will receive a complimentary registration to the AI Business Essentials Certificate Program.
