Is AI Changing Faster Than the Internet? A Deep Dive Into the Future of Work and Business Efficiency

How quickly is AI changing your business? Spoiler alert: faster than the internet and personal computers ever did. But what does this mean for your company, your leadership, and the future of work?

In this AI news episode, we explore the latest trends and breakthroughs in AI, from OpenAI's staggering new valuation to real-world applications in blue-collar industries and Fortune 2000 boardrooms.

I will also share key insights from the AI Realized conference, where top leaders like Lenovo's CTO and Airbnb's head of product unpacked how AI is reshaping entire industries. More importantly, you'll learn why AI adoption is not just about the tech—it’s about leadership buy-in, experimentation, and the human factor.

So, how can you start leveraging AI to boost your company's productivity today?

In this session, you'll discover:

• Key insights from a Federal Reserve and Harvard study on generative AI use across industries, including surprising data on blue-collar adoption.
• How Fortune 2000 leaders are integrating AI with tens of millions in investments, and why leadership buy-in is the deciding factor for success.
• Practical strategies to launch AI projects at any company size, from quick wins with low-code automations to larger infrastructure overhauls.
• Updates on OpenAI’s $6.6 billion funding round and what it signals for the future of AI-powered growth.
