About this Event

AI has become a fact of life for entrepreneurs, small businesses, nonprofits, educational institutions to large corporate firms for everyone.

According to a Forbes survey of 600 businesses, more than half say they use AI for cybersecurity and fraud management while nearly 97% of business owners believe the technology will help their business. Meanwhile, educators are concerned about AI impacting student learning even as they put it to use.

Join us on April 2, where our panelists will discuss how workers, employers, educators and business leaders best prepare for this new world.
