Putting AI to Work

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond chatbots and basic productivity tools. It is beginning to change how organizations manage information, make decisions, automate processes, anticipate problems, and create value.

Join the Northeast Indiana Innovation Community for a practical look at what AI can—and cannot—do for your organization. Through clear explanations and real-world demonstrations, you will learn how organizations can move from isolated experiments toward more useful, operational applications of AI.

During this session, we will explore:

• How artificial intelligence works
• Practical demonstrations and business applications
• Important limitations and risks
• Opportunities in operations, decision-making, forecasting, and administrative work
• The AI maturity curve and your organization’s possible next step

You will leave with a clearer understanding of AI’s potential, its limitations, and where it could create meaningful value within your organization.

Who should attend:

Business owners, executives, managers, operations and strategy professionals, and other leaders responsible for organizational growth and change.
