A Conversation with Chris Cook (SOM ’04)

Join us for an engaging dialogue with Chris Cook (SOM ’04), founder of Blackbox Zero and former Deputy Chief Auditor at IBM, as he walks us through how to cut through the hype around AI and focus on real-world business applications.

The session will cover the PRIME framework (Purpose, Risk, Inputs, Model, Evidence), walk through two short case studies in finance and healthcare, and leave you with a practical skills checklist and next steps to apply in your own work. We’ll wrap up with an open Q&A where you’ll have the chance to engage directly and take away actionable insights.
