intro to AI 101 : from hype to boots on the ground

Terms, Examples, and Crafting Your AI Roadmap  
In 2023, ChatGPT put artificial intelligence (AI) on the map. 
In 2025, it’s reshaping industries. While 92% of Fortune 500 
companies are already piloting projects with OpenAI’s tools (Financial Times), only 23% of US adults say they have tried ChatGPT (Pew Research). If enterprise companies are learning by doing and other folks are not trying new tools, some folks may be left in the dust. That’s a huge competitive opportunity for folks ready to take action.

Together, we will unpack the jargon and understand key terms. Then, we'll explore four key advantages of using AI in business through four case studies. Businesses need to craft an AI roadmap and take action to future-proof themselves and stay around through the age of AI.

At the end of the talk, you'll leave with an understanding of AI's business impact and five AI tools you can test out now.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  • Know 4 key advantages via 4 real-world case studies
  • Identify 3 primary risks of AI for companies
  • Discover 5 practical AI tools for businesses today
