Call to Action:
Abstract: Envision a day where you accomplish tasks 25% faster and with 40% higher quality, allowing for more time for personal pursuits or tackling deeper strategic or creative projects. According to a 2023 study by Harvard Business School and the Boston Consulting Group, this reality is within reach for knowledge workers like yourself. As practical users of readily accessible generative AI tools, we will delve into the relationship between Generative AI and human expertise, guided by the fundamental principle that AI serves to augment rather than replace our unique capabilities. At the heart of our discussion lies a commitment to preserving each individual’s core values while enhancing creativity and productivity through practical and immediately applicable AI solutions. This session will speak to tasks found in our everyday lives, as well as those unique to the architecture, design, and education professions, offering insights into the practical applications of Generative AI. Explore how readily available tools can support both quick wins and deeper iterative processes, enhancing not only the quality of your work but also your quality of life, in an effort to make a positive impact on those and the world around you.
