AI developments legit change hourly.
That means what business leaders can do changes daily. And drastically.
As soon as you FINALLY learn a new AI technique, it’s often already outdated, and approvals to use it at work can take forevvvvver.
Solution: know what’s coming.
That’s why you have me.
I’m not a mind reader, but I spend almost all day every day talking with the people building AI, using it myself, and teaching others. 
It’s literally my job.
Each year I publish predictions and a roadmap because you don’t have 10 hours a day to keep up.
(I do.)
So, today is part 1 of one of our most important shows of the year: Our AI Predictions and Roadmap series.
