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 share digitized links, images, and videos. 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: images created by DALL-E 2 are photo realistic, ChatGPT can converse intelligently with users about any topic, and Stable Diffusion is creating user avatars.

Given the exponential pace of these advances, you may be asking yourself: Where is generative AI headed? How can I help the companies I engage with to leverage these advances 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 offers insight into how these algorithms work, why the explosion in generative artificial intelligence is occurring now, how you can best position your organization(s) to harness the power of these advances, and what the future looks like for creation of digital art, movies, pictures, books, articles, and other media. He will also lay out a simple framework for identifying problems can be fixed with these new tools and share several examples of organizations that are already making the leap. He will conclude by leading a working session to help participants “unpack the black box” to identify immediate opportunities for organizations to leverage generative artificial intelligence and walk them through the process of executing against that roadmap.
