Sessions
Catch the speaker at these sessions
Audiences are bombarded by AI hucksters and doomsayers, alternating utopianism and existential terror. Chris cuts through this maelstrom of contradictions by explaining how AI technology actually works, how it will evolve, and how to apply the lessons of past technology waves, from the industrial revolution on, to adapt to today’s challenges.
