Welcome to this video introduction of the upcoming Acceleration Economy Generative AI Digital Summit, taking place May 25. Acceleration Economy co-founders John Siefert and Bob Evans are getting together to announce the event and share their perspectives on what they’re looking forward to.
Highlights
00:35 — John kicks off the discussion with key details: the summit takes place on May 25 at noon Eastern. One of the highlights will be a practitioner roundtable tackling big topics including the future of work, cybersecurity, data risks and opportunities, and customer experience impact from generative AI.

00:35 — Bob notes that he can’t recall something taking off the way that generative AI has: there’s so much excitement about this because it doesn’t just allow people to do what they’ve always done a little better and quicker. Instead, it opens up new possibilities and new opportunities for things that people really haven’t thought about before.
02:39 — John says it’s a good time to start thinking through the practical application of artificial intelligence within the context of our businesses. How does it change our jobs? How does it augment what we can do as knowledge workers with tools and with opportunities to now apply things that we would have had to do manually in the past? It lets us focus on the “bigger stuff” and that’s really exciting.
03:29 — Generative AI Digital Summit is also happening within 40-50 days of the open letter that came out from Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak — which our practitioner analysts have weighed in on — and by the time of the event, there may be some different takes, different points of view on this innovative technology.
03:57 — John notes registration is free, as with all of our digital summits, and the Acceleration Economy team looks forward to seeing you there.
