The pervasiveness of AI in its various applications is proven, but often the more technical and complex aspects can deter us from engaging with it. It doesn’t have to be this way.
 
The goal of this meeting is to allow the participants to discuss the skills and strategies necessary to successfully bring AI into the company, even without being a computer scientist.
 
Every day, we drive a car without knowing how to build a carburetor, but we know how to use the gear shift, the handbrake, and the dashboard lights. Using AI tools and generative AI should be no different: 99% of people don’t need to know how to "train" an AI; they just need to know how to use it correctly, employing the right abstractions and mental models. This is more than sufficient for executives who need to design product roadmaps or make strategic decisions where AI assistance could have a significant impact.
 
What’s essential is to have a clear understanding of what AI can and cannot do, to connect business problems with model capabilities, and to develop critical thinking in a field that has historically promised more than it delivers. To achieve this, we will provide both an overview of the technological developments on the horizon and concrete examples that can serve as practical guidance within the company.
 
During this meeting, the participants will discuss:

• the mental frameworks and the minimum critical skills necessary to consciously govern AI
• how to structure a successful AI project for their company: build vs. buy and other crucial decisions
• case studies and insights from both startups and traditional companies
• current technological trends and the new innovations from Silicon Valley that will soon arrive in our companies.
