Navigating Ai: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
Artificial Intelligence is no longer the future of hospitality—it's the present. But as we stand on the brink of this AI revolution, are we prepared to wield its power responsibly?
Let's face it—data privacy, AI hallucinations, and bias aren't exactly the sexy side of artificial intelligence. But in the world of hospitality, they're as crucial as submitting your final guarantees.
Join us for an eye-opening yet refreshingly honest 60-minute session where we'll dive into the thrilling possibilities and critical challenges of AI in hospitality. We'll tackle three key pillars of responsible AI use:
- Data privacy
- AI hallucinations
- Bias
This isn't just another tech talk—it's your roadmap to navigating the ethical minefield of AI implementation. Whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, you'll leave with:
- Practical, actionable insights to implement AI safely and ethically
- The confidence to make informed decisions about AI adoption
- Don't just witness the AI revolution—lead it, responsibly. Join us to ensure that as we harness AI's immense power, we do so with wisdom and integrity.
Learning outcomes include:
- 3 pillars of Concern for AI
- Data Privacy
- Understanding hallucinations
- AI Bias causes
We will also have opportunities to meet and interact with the Board of Directors and hear about volunteer information and be able to sign up for something that interests you!
