The 300 Million Job Opportunity : Why Gen AI’s Biggest Impact Isn’t Automation.

The question isn’t whether to adopt AI, but how to deploy it strategically to enhance rather than replace human potential. The real opportunity is to lead the next wave of innovation, while others are still catching up to the last one.
This presentation and discussion with Sam Steele explores how to build that future…
