Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lunch and Learn

September 18, 2024

Thanks to you, our first Lunch and Learn of the fiscal year was a huge success, supported by nearly 90 members and guests.

David Nelems, CEO of the Don Ryan Center for Innovation introduced the different types of artificial intelligence in our world today, and how they are being used.

He spent the majority of his presentation on ChatGPT, demonstrated how to use it, and reminded everyone throughout his presentation: (1) AI today is as bad as it will ever be, and, (2) think of it as an assistant, not the authority. ChatGPT will make mistakes, yet offers many conveniences.

A special thanks to Chef Andy, Linda Tapetto, and the entire Hampton Lake team for making this a memorable event.

Guests indulged in a delectable spread catered by Downtown Catering, featuring a range of gourmet dishes that perfectly complemented the evening.
