CHATGPT, GENERATIVE AI AND THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL INTELLIGENCE

This program is perfect for:

• Audiences seeking to better understand AI and how it change society in the future.

The world of AI is transforming before our eyes, bringing us new  tools and capabilities that sometimes feel like they’ve arrived from the  future. This rapidly advancing field is delivering us into a world  unlike anything humanity has ever experienced. From innovative business  uses to new kinds of art and music, the potential to create better,  faster ways of performing tasks and interacting with our technologies is  mind-boggling.

On the positive side of the equation, we’ll see the aggregation of  human knowledge that results in rapid access to new levels of  information and insights. Just a few brief benefits include:

• Instant summarizations that bring together vast swaths of research for easy reading and knowledge acquisition.
• Entirely new approaches to searching the web and databases.
• Virtual assistants that can perform tasks and deliver documents far faster and of higher quality than most human assistants.
• New tools for expanding the imagination, resulting in a working  partnership between artists, musicians, designers, architects and AI.

But these advances don’t come without costs, trade-offs and  challenges. As we enter this new phase of techno-human collaboration,  there are many questions we need to ask ourselves.

• Will AI summarizations contribute to a decrease in people’s ability to think deeply about complex problems and issues?
• These systems currently have a “hallucination problem” – that is,  they make things up. As bad as this is for a single search query, what  happens to the sum of human knowledge when this is perpetuated across  millions and even billions of queries?
• If this next round of AI is as disruptive as many people think it  could be, how will it impact the future of the workforce and the  economy?
• Will this free us to do jobs that are more fulfilling, or will many of us be relegated to training our replacements?
  Ultimately, how will these new tools serve us? Or after the dust settles, will we be serving them?

BUILDING THE INNOVATION ECOSYSTEMS OF TOMORROW

Innovation has always been critical to progress and how we build the future. As we look ahead, what new kinds of creativity, discovery, team building, financing, and infrastructure will support the startup communities of tomorrow?

We live at one of the most exciting times in history, a time when innovation is constantly taking place all around us. Many factors make this possible, encouraging and perpetuating new ideas that are already rapidly transforming our world. And nowhere is this more evident than in the world of startups.

Just imagine how the future of the startup ecosystem might look in ten or twenty years as we incorporate AI, advanced telecommunications, automated logistics and self-driving vehicles. Attendees will learn about the new kinds of creativity, discovery, team building, financing, and infrastructure that will support the startup community of tomorrow. Most importantly we’ll explore how this future could develop in order to answer the question: “How will we innovate innovation itself?”

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: OUR MOST TRANSFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

ChatGPT, LLMs, Generative-AI, Machine Commonsense – Future advances in artificial intelligence are altering nearly every aspect of our lives. How will we adapt as so much of our world becomes more and differently intelligent?

It seems like nearly every day we hear about some new hurdle that artificial intelligence has overcome. Yet, we know it is still far from capable of performing a multitude of human tasks. At the same time, the news is filled with reports of massive job losses due to these advances in AI and automation. How rapidly is this technology advancing and just how smart could it eventually become?

This program explores the advances that are being made in a range of AI-related technologies, advances that could one day make artificial intelligence nearly equivalent to our own. However, there are major reasons why it can never exactly duplicate human intelligence and for this reason we will face many challenges in our interactions with it.

Attendee results:

• What are the new and emerging AI technologies that will transform tomorrow’s world?
• What can AI do today and what can we expect it to do in the future?
• How has AI already surpassed us and in what ways will it probably always fall short?
• How will society and the workplace have to change in order to deal with these inevitable advances?

AUTOMATION, EMPLOYMENT AND THE FUTURE OF THE WORKFORCE

Augmented Reality Docent. AI Wrangler. Data Set Auditor. Genetics Interpreter. Digital Reputation Scrubber. VR Addiction Counselor. These are but a few of the new jobs we’re likely to see in the not too distant future. As we move through the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it’s becoming increasingly evident that businesses and the workforce aren’t prepared for many of the changes that await us. How will we adapt to a world that no longer needs people for many traditional tasks? How can we prepare for the jobs of the future if they don’t even exist yet?

As one work force director recently said: “You gave our workforce deans plenty of food for thought as they navigate the complex education and employment world we’re preparing students for.”

This program is perfect for:

• Senior management
• Human resource professionals
• Educators and administrators
• Workforce-focused audiences

The audience will leave with a better understanding of:

• Why so many jobs are changing or going away so quickly.
• What kinds of work AI and automation will and won’t be able to replace in the coming decades.
• How we will shift our ideas about education, work and upskilling.
• How business will have to change to deal with these inevitable advances.
