ROUNDTABLE & NETWORKING EVENT : What AI really changes #1
AI is no longer a topic for tomorrow. It is already changing how companies operate, how investors place their bets and what our future jobs will look like.
For the first edition of "What AI really changes", the ESCP AI Society, with the support of the ESCP Alumni Deeptech group, brings together ESCP alumni who work with AI every day: in a sovereign AI startup, in a global logistics group and in tech investment. They will share their career paths, their real-life experience of AI and their honest view of what it means for the jobs we are preparing for.
An intimate, interactive format rather than a lecture: • A discussion with the speakers, moderated by students • An open Q&A with the audience • A networking session with the speakers and alumni
