Nothing Artificial Here: 

Beyond the Hype of AI

Paul Carney, Ishtot, Inc. (Winston-Salem NC)

As artificial intelligence evolves from a mere tool into a digital counterpart, organizations face a critical challenge: technical expertise alone isn't driving the expected business results. According to a study by Upwork in July, 2024, 77% of employees using AI say these tools have added to their workload, and nearly half (47%) of employees using AI report they do not know how to achieve the expected productivity gains.

In this riveting workshop, Paul reveals why traditional AI training falls short and he demonstrates how organizations can achieve remarkable productivity gains by preparing employees to treat AI as a team member.

Nothing Artificial Here: Beyond the Hype has been submitted to both SHRM and HRCI for recertification credit consideration.
