The Dark Scenario: Now is the Time to Prepare Your Community for Ai! Walter Schwabe

Is your municipality prepared for the rapidly increasing wave of artificial intelligence that’s already here and is rapidly changing our world in countless ways, both positive and negative? Are you aware of when you’re being influenced or worse, manipulated by someone else?

The current Internet is filled with digital platforms of all types including narrow AI that deploy sophisticated algorithms designed to influence online audiences with the goal of getting you to take a specific action.

You’ll want a front row seat to hear Walter Schwabe talk about this exciting, raw, and educational journey into the world of artificial intelligence and its future transformative potential to deliver amazing new forms of value to municipalities and their citizens.
