About the Talk:

Conor provides a practical framework for rethinking how we use large language models like ChatGPT, emphasizing that the key to effective implementation is about changing behavior rather than just learning new technology. He presents a three-part framework that aligns with how we actually work: Learn, Execute, and Strategize. This approach promises to elevate generative AI from an intermittently-used tool to a transformative force that can dramatically improve decision-making, efficiency, and strategic planning. Conor will speak on topics such as Not Your Typical Tech Upgrade: Why our brains resist AI, Breaking Bad Habits: Shifting away from Google-centric thinking, The AI Mindset: Embracing a new paradigm for interaction, Hands-on Transformation: Live demo of AI in action, and Beyond Text: Exploring AI's expanding capabilities.
