AI and the Future:
What you and your clients should know!


What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)? What are its origins? What does the future hold? And why should it matter to you and your clients? In the words of Bill Gates, Microsoft Co-Founder: “Generative AI has the potential to change the world in ways that we can't even imagine."

These questions are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding this ever changing and dynamic technology. Join TMA West Michigan as we explore this topic with experts whom are responsible for developing and using AI on a daily basis: Scott Andersen, Todd Cowles and Rob Loh.

*What is AI and what are some basic terms you should know?
*Who are the big players of Generative AI and how do you continue to master this information as these expand and change?
*Real use scenarios that may help your companies both internally and externally.
*How can you foster trust in AI when facing issues such as hallucinations, traceability, etc?
