On a brisk December morning in Shanghai, a buzzing crowd of entrepreneurs gathered for the Founders Breakfast - a weekly meetup aimed at connecting startups and founders to the entrepreneurial ecosystem through expert talks and trustful connections. The agenda for Friday, December 15th was a highly anticipated presentation on empowering knowledge workers with Artificial Intelligence (AI). This was a timely topic given the increasing interest in AI and its potential impact on the entrepreneurial landscape.

There is a strong incentive to trust the data, but there should be a healthy suspicion about the data. Data must be treated as questionable until proven trustworthy. The issues with implementing this strategy are:

System In Motion recently co-hosted a two-day AI training session with long-term partner Pernod Ricard. This training, held on-site at the client’s company from May 21-22, 2024, focused on the fundamentals and advanced practices of generative AI, aiming to enhance participants’ understanding and application capabilities of AI technology.
