Navigating the AI Revolution: Lessons from Evolution (*)

Upper Canada Hall

The revolution has begun, so what should we expect? Artificial intelligence (AI) is already changing the way we do art, business, finance, science, engineering, news, and social media. Soon it will disrupt the way we interact with one another. It may feel like a tidal wave, but that doesn’t mean it’s unpredictable. After all, this isn’t the first time intelligence has evolved.

AI won’t steal our jobs… but people using AI effectively might. By understanding the predictable milestones that emerge from evolution, and using them to guide your organization’s AI strategy, you can seize the power of evolutionary change to come out ahead.
