How to Think About AI

The AI Manager #1: How to Think About AI

Most AI discussions focus on prompts, tools, and the latest models.

This session focuses on something more fundamental:

How should we think about AI?

Understanding AI is quickly becoming a core professional skill. The people who benefit most from AI are not necessarily the best programmers or prompt engineers. They are the people who understand where AI fits, where it fails, and how to combine human judgment with machine intelligence.

In this first meetup, we’ll explore:

• What AI actually is (and what it isn’t)
• Why most people use AI incorrectly
• The difference between using AI as a tool and managing AI as a system
• How to think about AI capabilities and limitations
• The emerging role of AI employees and AI agents
• How AI is changing management, business, and knowledge work
• What skills become more valuable in an AI-driven world

This is an interactive discussion rather than a lecture. Questions, ideas, experiments, and different perspectives are encouraged.

Whether you’re a manager, founder, professional, student, or simply curious about the future, this meetup is designed to help build a deeper understanding of the most important technology shift of our generation.

Free online event. All experience levels welcome.
