Washington DC: Rapid advancements in computing power and algorithmic innovations, coupled with cloud-based technologies, have accelerated the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) which is transforming industries and reshaping human-machine interactions. Generative AI (GenAI), for example, has shown promising capabilities in content creation, automation and problem-solving, raising both expectations and concerns over its application.

How can organizations harness and integrate GenAI to foster innovation, enhance productivity and improve decision-making while mitigating risks? How can organizations ensure AI is used responsibly to maintain consumer trust and mitigate reputational risks? How can regulatory frameworks keep pace with AI advancements while ensuring fairness and accountability? Our expert panel will discuss the evolving role of GenAI, its potential for innovation and concerns surrounding its use in this upcoming GARP DC chapter meeting.

Registration is required as seats are limited. Priority will be given to GARP Individual Members.
