Generative AI’s remarkable capabilities, huge commercial potential, and inherent risks have been the talk of every boardroom and every leadership team on the planet.

With new advances coming almost every week, business leaders must navigate a shifting technology landscape of large language models, autonomous AI assistants, and enterprise intelligence agents, seeking to understand the impact these technologies will have on their business models, productivity, and competitiveness.
