In this workshop we will discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence. As we witness daily breakthroughs that redefine industries and introduce existential risks for new ventures, the entrepreneurial landscape can feel both exhilarating and daunting.
Participants will learn how to refine their thinking, strategizing, and decision-making processes to leverage AI effectively. The goal is to equip you with the tools to navigate through the noise and hype, identify substantive trends, and develop products that not only survive but thrive in the evolving technological landscape.
This workshop is designed for entrepreneurs, product developers, technologists, and anyone committed to building a future-proof enterprise.
