From the Internet to AI: Lessons from 30 Years of Digital Disruption
One of the best ways to understand what’s coming with generative AI and why it will be profound and transformative, this talk explores parallels from the early days of the WWW, laced with stories and insights from someone who was there at the beginning.

AI Readiness: Preparing for the Next Technological Revolution
While there is a lot of talk about AI literacy, things are evolving so fast that literacy is effectively impossible. But what is possible, required even, is AI readiness. Shifting your mindset from how we do things today to the unimaginable power that generative AI puts into our hands requires a complete rethinking of how we work, what is now possible, and how value is shifting.

Unexpected Innovation: Stumbling into Writing Broadway Musical with AI
By exploring generative AI on a nightly basis, Kyle Shannon experienced for himself what he’s been sharing with his AI Learning Lab audience for years: generative AI gives you superpowers. Even though Shannon hasn’t thought about writing anything for the theater in three decades, a demo of how to create a song with AI led to an epiphany for him about a story about AI that needs to be told. And it needs to be told in a MUSICAL?! However, this session is about far more than a creative project. It reveals the stunning power of generative AI combined with human imagination, and the experience combines with a willingness to experiment and adapt.

Telling stories has been around for ages, and technology has democratized our ability to share those stories. In a world of AI-generated fluff, how can we get our message to rise above the noise? Storytelling from a trusted source: real people.
