Artificial intelligence has become big in the past few years.
And four organizations — the Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corp., Owensboro Community & Technical College, the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce and the Kentucky Small Business Development Center — are offering a seminar to help people understand how AI is changing the way people work and do business.
“From Chat to Change: Leading in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. March 20 at OCTC.
The program is open to the public.
Dr. Ryan Hall, Innovation and Artificial Intelligence Lead at OCTC, said, “Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming an integral part of how our communities work and grow, and people deserve a clear, practical understanding of this technological revolution.”
He said the program is “is about giving citizens, leaders and business partners straightforward insight they can use.”
Claude Bacon, president of GOEDC, said, “Artificial intelligence is already shaping how work gets done across every industry. This is about making sure our community understands what’s changing, feels prepared to adapt and has practical tools to move forward with confidence.”
The seminar will discuss common challenges organizations face when adopting new technology, and practical ways people and businesses can begin using such tools responsibly.
Dave Kirk, chamber president, said, “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.”
Jody Hulsey, director of the Kentucky Small Business Development Center, said the session will offer practical tools and insights that people can use immediately.
