Creating with Generative AI Tools: An Interactive Workshop

NFTs, Corporate Innovation, Future Planning, Metaverse, Digital Identity and Relationships

Demystify the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI through a hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools, such as MidJourney for photo-realistic images, ChatGPT for content synthesis, and other transformative applications in music, voiceover, and video creation. Participants will be grouped to brainstorm a product idea and utilize these AI tools to craft various elements of a product pitch, including text prompts, images, audio, and video clips, culminating in a collaborative creation of a 30-second video with the assistance of a professional editor. This exercise will culminate in a presentation session where each group showcases their project, competing for a prize based on the creativity and effectiveness of their pitch.

Generative Artificial Intelligence: The Third Wave of Digital Disruption

MTP, Change Management, Personal Development, Digital Transformation

In the 1990s, we saw the rise of the consumer web completely change the way we produce and consume digital content. In the 2000s, we saw social media transform the way we connect with others. And now, in the 2020's, we're in the middle of a third wave of digital disruption as generative artificial intelligence is transforming the way that content is created. Given that these tools are evolving at an exponential pace, you may be asking yourself: Where is generative AI headed? How can I keep up and stay competitive within a constantly evolving landscape? Where do I even begin? With 15 years of experience helping organizations to transform through the intelligent design of artificial intelligence applications, Dr. Michael Housman outlines a framework for identifying the biggest opportunities to apply generative AI tools and offers up concrete examples of organizations that are already making the leap. He then goes on to lead the audience in an interactive workshop in which they create a product pitch from scratch in just minutes leveraging generative AI tools that are readily available, showcasing just how powerful these applications can be when they’re put in the right hands.

Understanding the Explosion of Artificial Intelligence: Past, Present, and Future

Generative AI, Large Language Models, Digital Inclusion, Corporate Innovation, Change Management, Lifelong Learning

We are living in the midst of an explosion of artificial intelligence that is disrupting entire industries and completely transforming the way we live: new cars now have autopilot for highway driving, email and text messaging applications anticipate our next sentence, our phones recognize our faces and voices, and robots are learning to move and manipulate objects on their own. But if the algorithms behind many of these advances were developed decades ago, why are we only now starting to appreciate the full impact of this disruptive technology? Drawing real-world examples from a variety of different companies and industries, Dr. Michael Housman offers up some insight into why the explosion in artificial intelligence is occurring now, how you can best position your organization to harness the power of these advances, and what the future looks like for the fields of computer vision, natural language understanding and generation, reinforcement learning, and cognitive computing.

Data Activation Mastery: Transforming Insight into Impact with AI

In this era of rapid technological evolution, mastering the art of data activation is essential for organizations aiming to stay ahead. Dr. Michael Housman, with 15 years of experience in spearheading organizational transformations through intelligent AI applications, offers up a pioneering workshop designed to empower your team with the knowledge and tools needed to turn data into decisive action.

The core of the workshop is a four-step framework tailored to unlock the potential within your organization’s data reserves. Dr. Housman illustrates this framework by walking participants through a case study from his own career in which he led a team of engineers and data scientists to transform the way we do hiring. This framework not only clarifies how to identify AI-applicable challenges but also provides practical, industry-spanning examples of successful integrations and outcomes.

Following the foundation-laying session, participants will engage in interactive breakout groups. These sessions are designed to facilitate hands-on experience, encouraging teams to brainstorm and pinpoint specific opportunities within their domains where data, perhaps previously overlooked, can be activated to drive meaningful impact. This experience not only demystifies AI but also equips participants with the tools to create a tailored data activation roadmap, aligning with their organizational objectives.
