I’m en route to PWC’s office to co-host Leading with AI with Diana Dromey. I’m thinking of some “hands up” polls we could run at the start. So far I’ve got:
- Who here is excited for AI?
- Who here is nervous about AI?
- Who here things AI is the single most important thing that will transfer our industry and society?
- Who here feels like they are struggling to keep up with all things AI?
- Who here would rather be leading the conversation about AI?
I’m hopeful that today supports those questions.
Should be fun! 😃
