We had a jam-packed day learning about all the ways #AI will impact all sections of our lives from #business and #consumer experiences to #government and #finance. We also touched on the issues with agentic AI, the rise of the Chief AI Officer, preparing the workforce for AI, debated the China vs. US AI War and discussed best practices to use moving forward. Lastly, we closed out the day with a happy hour on the deck at the Quad Conference Center while ruminating on how to go forth and apply everything we learned. ???? ?
