Memphis Global AI Community (Hybrid)

Flash Override: Do not go to the Microsoft office this evening!

The event for tonight will not be hybrid, there will be no in-person experience at the Microsoft office in Memphis. There might be an all virtual meeting. I will know more shortly. Stay tuned.

Memphis has joined the Global AI Community.

I will give a brief overview of the AI products available in Azure and the larger Microsoft platform. This includes AI integrations into products like Office and Teams. While aimed at a technical audience, it will not be code-driven. And I will have details about the Global AI Community Bootcamp coming up in March.

Our guest speaker this month will be Scott Finney. Scott helps businesses increase revenue, decrease costs, and prevent customer churn by optimizing workflows and leveraging AI-powered solutions. Recognizing how tools like ChatGPT have transformed the online playing field, Scott encourages organizations to not just learn, but take action on delegating work to AI-powered bots. His passion lies in empowering teams to embrace AI, streamline processes, and focus on what matters most.

Scott will present AI: Your New Team Member, Not Just a Tool

In this presentation, Scott Finney advocates for embracing AI as a collaborative team member rather than just a tool. Drawing from his personal journey with AI, particularly ChatGPT, Scott explores how AI can transform project management by improving efficiency, enhancing decision-making, and streamlining workflows. He highlights practical AI-powered tools for various project management tasks and provides actionable strategies to overcome common fears and barriers to AI adoption. The presentation emphasizes the critical role of communication, continuous learning, and proactive experimentation in successfully integrating AI into modern workflows.
