Dinner

Balancing Expectations and Readiness in the AI Era – Palo Alto, CA

About This Event

AI in the workplace has surged, with the majority of companies increasing their adoption in 2024. Expectations for efficiencies are high, with great majority of CIOs expecting productivity gains in the next 1-2 years. Yet, there are still challenges. CIOs cite speed as a barrier to adoption, as well as the difficulty finding AI-related talent for their teams. While the great majority of CIOs say using AI will make it easier to meet their organization’s IT sustainability goals, the amount of computing power needed to train the largest AI models is doubling in less than a year and electricity already accounts for almost half of total spending.

Join Lenovo and AMD, as well as your peers, for an interactive dinner discussion as we break down the AI landscape. This session will help business leaders explore the expectations of AI, implementation barriers and how to overcome them, sustainability and power concerns, and determine the next steps in their AI adoption journey.
