AI isn’t on the sidelines anymore—it’s in your stack, workflow, and product roadmap.

Generative AI redefines how large enterprises operate—from infrastructure design and product delivery to risk management and automation. But how does this translate to real systems, real teams, and real value?

This Obsidi® Tech Talk, presented by BMO, dives into the impact of GenAI, cutting through the noise to uncover:

* Where AI is actively creating operational efficiency and measurable growth
* What risks, compliance frameworks, and ethical considerations are shaping GenAI deployment
* How product delivery teams balance the urgency to ship AI-powered features
* The future skills needed for AI-aligned career paths in data, data science and engineering

Whether building systems, leading teams, or evolving your career, this conversation will give you a front-row seat to the next chapter of enterprise AI.
