SUMMARY:Corridor Connections: AI Tsunami
DESCRIPTION:"The wave is already here — and it’s not slowing down. In this engaging and interactive session\, Paul Gormley&nbsp\;uses the “AI Tsunami” metaphor to help business leaders understand the urgency\, opportunity\, and risks of artificial intelligence.This is not a “which tool should I buy” conversation. It’s about recognizing a massive revolution in how work gets done — and making the strategic choice between using AI to expand your capacity and invest in people\, or using it purely for cost-cutting at the expense of long-term resilience.We’ll break down AI in plain English\, demystify how it works behind the scenes\, and highlight real-world use cases that small and medium-sized businesses — especially industrial and manufacturing organizations — can implement now. Throughout\, we’ll pause for interactive discussions so you can connect the concepts directly to your business.You’ll leave with:A clear understanding of what AI is (and isn’t).The ability to explain AI to others in your organization.Practical ideas for low-risk\, high-reward AI experiments.A framework for deciding how to use AI gains to strengthen your business.Whether AI excites you or intimidates you\, this session will leave you better prepared for the wave that’s already here."
