Agenda Day 1

2:45 PM FIRESIDE CHAT: Assessing the Future of Human, Augmented Human, and Non-Human Collaboration

This session provides a practical roadmap for organizations to navigate the integration of artificial intelligence into their core operations. Join us for a conversation that transcends the typical AI hype to deliver genuine insights into human- machine collaboration. Learn about the concept of Augmented General Intelligence (AuGI) which emphasizes technology that amplifies human capabilities rather than competing with them. This session is particularly valuable for leaders grappling with the real challenges of AI implementation - from prompt engineering and bias mitigation to the evolving nature of teamwork itself.
