GenAI Reality Check: Business Wins, Fails & the Metrics in Between
Use this evening to demystify where Generative AI creates value today and learn peer-tested best practices.
Why does this matter?
The MIT “GenAI Divide” report split opinion among leaders. This evening, we’ll invite business leaders to share their views on GenAI adoption and how it’s measured.
What will you get?
Proven patterns to overcome organisational and operational gaps (ownership, governance, data access, integration).
What is the format?
Five lightning talks → interactive panel & peer discussion with audience Q&A.
Who is invited to attend?
Attendance is curated for decision-makers in corporates, SMEs, and Generative AI startup/scaleup leadership to ensure a high-quality discussion.
