Tales from people who have made extensive use of AI within their organizations.

There may be more people writing about how AI should be used than people who are actually using modern AI engines to rethink how work gets done within their companies.

This panel features leaders who dove deep into applying AI in their roles — and resurfaced to share what they found. Audience members are encouraged to join and share lessons learned, tragedies, and triumphs gained from using AI to transform how work works.
