Thanks to member George Messina for catering this week’s networking event at Rooftop on Basin.

GNOEA member and President of Universal Data Solutions, Chad Perrier led the discussion on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can impact a business. He has found that its best use it for strategy and analysis, problem solving, and content creation, i.e. blog posting or streamlining recurring tasks. If your organization wishes to incorporate an AI strategy, the recommendation is to identify goals/outcomes of its use, pilot program with test users, and creation/review your AI policy when training your staff.  As AI evolves, he foresees it being a useful tool for business owners for all industries.
