Breakfast
Kickoff Presentation | Jeff Miller
Artificial intelligence is often framed as either a threat or overhyped, but this keynote argues both views miss the point: intelligence is contextual. Through simple demonstrations, it shows how humans and AI excel and fail in different ways, and why combining human intuition with AI’s speed and precision creates far greater value than either alone. Framed through the lens of Industry 5.0, it highlights how organizations can move beyond fear to use AI for augmentation, building smarter, more adaptive teams.
