AI – Navigating Risk & Learning How to Use It

Whether in search of reduced costs, improved service or simply a sense of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), companies – large and small – are rapidly moving to adopt the increasingly powerful artificial intelligence business tools (“AI”) now available to them. These companies are using AI both as a standalone technology for specialized use cases and/or embedding it within common enterprise software systems that handle core business processes.

These are precisely the issues which were discussed substantively and practically at the occasion of two programs held by EACC Florida on February 13 and 14.

On February 13, Evi Fuelle (Credo AI), Laura Juanes (Restaurant Brands International), Oleksii Yaremenko (LeverX) and David Zetoony (Greenberg Traurig) offered thought-provoking insights into the state of play (or lack thereof) of AI regulations in Europe, the United States and beyond, how companies are handling the transition to AI tools and most importantly how to manage and mitigate some of the risks associated with the adoption of AI in the still muddled regulatory waters. The program titled “AI in Business – Navigating Risk in Adopting a Powerful but not Well-Understood Technology” was hosted by Greenberg Traurig and expertly moderated by Alan Sutin (Greenberg Traurig) and EACC Florida President.

On February 14, several EACC Florida Members & Friends gathered at LeverX Miami headquarters on Brickell Avenue for a Design Thinking Workshop titled “Empowering your Business with AI Capabilities”. The session featured a combination of interactive group activities and expert insights, employing tools like opportunity cards to stimulate brainstorming and real-world problem solving. It was perfectly complementary to the substantive program on the previous day and an opportunity to develop an understanding of what AI can do beyond ChatGPT, what it cannot do and most importantly how it could help solve existing business problems. Our coaches – Natalya Rubakhava, Dmitry Novik and Siarhei Valenda – were outstanding. Many thanks to LeverX for hosting this event.
