Community seminar to explore AI’s impact on work and business

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Four organizations serving the Greater Owensboro region are partnering to present “From Chat to Change: Leading in the Age of Artificial Intelligence,” a community seminar focused on helping people better understand how artificial intelligence is changing the way people work and do business.

Officials say the event will be held March 20 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Owensboro Community and Technical College (OCTC)’s Humanities Building, Blandford Hall. It is a collaborative effort between the Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corporation (GOEDC), OCTC, the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce and the Kentucky Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Open to the public, the program is designed to provide a clear, practical look at how artificial intelligence is already shaping workplaces and day-to-day operations.

“Artificial intelligence is already shaping how work gets done across every industry,” said Claude Bacon, President and CEO at GOEDC. “This is about making sure our community understands what’s changing, feels prepared to adapt, and has practical tools to move forward with confidence.”

Officials say the seminar will highlight real-world applications of AI, common challenges organizations face when adopting new technology and practical ways individuals and businesses can begin using these tools responsibly.

“AI is changing the way the world does business and we want to do everything we can to help prepare our members to adapt and thrive.  We’re grateful to get to be a part of this meaningful partnership and excited to see where it leads,” said Dave Kirk, President and CEO of the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce. 

Registration for the event is now open.
