Meeting the AI Moment


Gen AI tools have astounding potential to elevate versus automate what we do. How do we assemble the right mix of platforms? How do we responsibly use tools? Given the pace of their increasing power, how do we see around corners?


These questions aren’t for the future. AI is here and now.
