Feedback and testimonials

Here's what people are saying about AI Tsunami and the hosts.

There were almost too many good things to list, however, the “three buckets” of first assessing your data quality, then assessing models for intended AI use cases, and finally assessing your output for unintended consequences stood out to me.

Carole is a wonderful presenter. Her slides are excellent. The global and Canadian landscape was well thought out. Her ability to present and use implementation steps relevant for 2024 was summarized to the literature and global reports.

The insights provided will allow me to build the case for adopting Artificial Intelligence in a more systematic fashion. We all need to learn prompt engineering. Our next board meeting will prove to be a pivotal moment for the organization.

Frank Massey

CEO, Emerging Tech Enterprises

The presentation was powerful, interactive, and illuminating. I especially appreciated the discussion on the advances made since generative AI technology became widely available in 2022 that have addressed many significant concerns. I left inspired with an actionable way forward. I look forward to the next presentation on the legal risks and potential strategies to mitigate those risks. Thank you for such a high-quality applied learning experience.

I appreciated the overview at the beginning for context around the conversation of AI. The potential impacts was helpful. The boards I am involved in are not even scratching the surface on this issue.
