Workshop
” AI in Business : Help or Hindrance ? “
Saving us time, making us better, creating more work or making us lazy ?
An interactive workshop and open discussion around how we’re actually using AI in our businesses.
We’ll look at where it’s saving us time and helping us work smarter, but also where it could be creating problems, reducing the personal touch or becoming something we rely on too heavily. I’d like to get everyone involved, share what we’re using it for, what works, what doesn’t and ultimately ask, is AI really helping our businesses or hindering them?
