Synopsis:

AI is everywhere, it promises the world and threatens the end of humanity. How can we thrive as people, and as PMs, in this kind of ambiguity? Join Janneke Ritchie, digital transformation expert, innovator and AI student for this dynamic, interactive, in-person (!) discussion about what AI is and isn’t, how you can use it to be a better PM and what it takes to thrive in the age of AI. Perfect for absolute beginners and the cautiously optimistic about AI, Janneke will offer her enthusiastic and pragmatic takes on how AI can make us better humans and its not-insignificant pitfalls, and together we’ll figure out how to start using AI to level up as PMs. More workshop than presentation, this will be a safe space to ask any question you may have about AI, even the scary ones. Leave feeling energized, excited and ready to start thriving in a world with AI.

Learning Outcomes:

• Gain a high-level understanding of what AI, and specifically generative AI, is
