Through demonstrations and candid explanations, the panel will highlight what works, what doesn’t, and how to distinguish hype from useful tools. The program will also cover key guardrails around privacy, accuracy, and professional responsibility, giving attendees the knowledge they need to adopt AI with confidence.
