AI Across Industries

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it is actively reshaping how industries operate, compete, and innovate. Join us for a dynamic panel discussion featuring leaders from technology, healthcare, and professional services as they explore how AI is transforming their fields in real time.

Featuring:

• Brad Jenkins, Managing Director, Enterprise Innovation and University Partnerships, KPMG
• Sebastian Nickel, Senior Director of Strategy and Business Development, Siemens Healthineers
• Logan Whitehouse, Co-Founder/CPO, Virnika

This conversation will highlight how AI is being applied across industries—from improving operational efficiency and enhancing customer experiences to advancing diagnostics and decision-making. Panelists will share real-world use cases, lessons learned, and how their organizations are navigating both the opportunities and challenges that come with rapid AI adoption.

This event also serves as an opportunity to connect with the growing AI community at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Through efforts facilitated by Innovate Carolina, the AI at UNC community is bringing together faculty, staff, students, and industry partners who are actively exploring and applying AI in their work.

While you’re here, we encourage all UNC faculty, staff, and students engaged in AI—or curious to learn more—to attend, connect, and collaborate. Dedicated networking time will provide space to meet others working with AI across campus and the broader Triangle region, discover ongoing research, and spark new ideas and partnerships. Come early for coffee, stay after to continue the conversation, and take advantage of a chance to tour UNC’s innovation hub and coworking space in downtown Chapel Hill.

Info: Discussion topics may include industry + university collaboration, real-world applications of AI across sectors, opportunities and challenges in adopting AI, and more.
