AI Demystified: The Practical Playbook
From "Overwhelmed" to "Operational" in 60 Minutes
AI is no longer a niche technology; it is infrastructure, with adoption rates predicted to surpass smartphones by 2030. Yet, many organizations remain paralyzed by complexity, fear of job displacement, or hesitation about where to begin. The secret to mastering AI is the same as mastering anything: figure out what you want, then learn the tool.
In this high-energy, zero-jargon session, I strip away the mystique of Artificial Intelligence. We move beyond the hype to understand how Large Language Models actually "think"—visualizing them not as magic, but as calculators for words. By addressing the biggest fears head-on—from environmental impact to the changing job market—attendees leave with a clear understanding that AI is not here to replace them, but to free them from the grunt work of thinking so they can focus on wisdom and decisions. This is the "bicycle for the mind" upgraded to a rocket ship.
