Thank you Kathleen Keenan, Kevin Sexton and Satish Vedantam for sharing your expertise. #AI #usbank Key takeaways from the Future of Tech panel: - AI is a powerful tool to augment human work, allowing employees to spend less time on mundane tasks and more time on high-value activity – increasing efficiency, productivity and job satisfaction. - Companies must have the resources to deploy AI effectively – meaning employees who understand how to train and manage AI models, and how to spot errors in output. - To minimize risk, it’s important for companies to have closed AI environments that do not publicly expose their data. - Garbage in; garbage out. AI tools are only as good as the quality of data being fed into them. - The vast majority of companies are not yet using generative AI.
