Artificial Intelligence in Business Meetup

People gathered for Artificial Intelligence in Business Meetup

Author, Business Strategist, and Expert on Digital Technology's impact, Rod Wallace, Ph.D., will debut his book.

Throughout history, society has always had to evolve in response to technology development. Now, however, we're drowning in potential: American business, government, and culture are all failing to respond constructively to new challenges.

Digital Technology has the potential to transform society: computers, smartphones, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and more. Eric Schmidt, Alphabet’s CEO says, “We’re entering. . . the age of abundance.”

However, if we’re entering the age of abundance, shouldn’t society’s problems be solved? Or, almost solved?

Today, we’re drowning in potential.

More than 60% of our economy is dedicated to industries failing to deliver society what we need from them. Businesses in these industries, themselves, may be making record profits and delivering amazing new products. However, these industries, overall, are not delivering what society needs from them. Failures in healthcare and education are well known. Similarly fundamental failures also exist in industries as diverse as finance, housing, and food.

We’ll discuss why we’re drowning in potential today—and what we need to do to channel that potential.

From this event, you’ll get:
• Clarity about what is happening to American business as Digital Technology advances, as well as some insights into American culture and government.
• Perspective on where break-through results may come from in your own organization.
• Thoughts on how we can help senior leaders across society begin to retake control and drive us forward.

We’re losing billions because we’re not re-shaping our organizations to channel technology’s potential. Come find that value!

Free pizza, soft drinks, and networking at the event.

Author Rod Wallace earned his Ph.D. as a Fulbright fellow working with one of the 20th century’s leading economic historians. Rod then played key roles planning and executing billions of dollars in corporate investment. And, he explored technology’s potential with one of Silicon Valley’s pioneers in understanding how to safely cultivate artificial intelligence’s benefits.
