Description

Please join the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce as we host a seminar on Artificial Intelligence and the benefits and impacts on local business. We are so excited to bring you an amazing panel of experts! 

Key Points:
Generative AI might be the biggest breakthrough since the desktop computer. GPT hit a million users in 5 days, and secured a hundred million users in a quarter, leaving Google scrambling as search becomes near-obsolete. Image generators like Midjourney and DALL-E threaten to eliminate entire creative industries. Goldman Sachs projects generative AI to boost global GDP by up to $7 trillion annually within the next decade, impacting two-thirds of US occupations. Education is forever changed, and highly educated professions are projected to be among the most impacted of all.

1. Economically:
   1. Just how rapidly are these tools being adopted now
   2. Who?s using them, and which industries and professions are projected to be most impacted
   3. What?s the projected timeline and economic impact of generative AI
2. Technically:
   1. How did this happen so suddenly?
   2. ChatGPT vs its competitors
   3. Multimedia generation tools for image, voice, and video
   4. What?s coming: AI integrations everywhere from Word and Excel, to Photoshop and Premiere, to line of business apps
   5. Long-term projections
3. Practically:
   1. How do you access these services? What?s the cost?
   2.  ?hallucinations?, liability and security concerns, and generated content ownership
   3. Biases and ethical concerns
   4. What does this change about the office at large today?
