AI in Action: Practical Strategies for a Changing Workplace
What happens when powerful AI tools meet real-world decisions? As AI reshapes the way we work, integrating it effectively while protecting your brand and staying within legal and ethical boundaries can be a challenge. Acclaimed tech educator and best-selling author Avery Swartz delivers an engaging, interactive session designed specifically for leaders in the produce industry.
Discover how AI can enhance marketing, operations, and decision-making without exposing your company to reputational risk. Get clear, practical guidance on what is legally allowed, how AI-generated content impacts copyright, and the best practices for disclosure.
