Artificial intelligence has long been the plot of science fiction novels and horror movies, but today, it is also becoming a common topic in the workplace. As companies grapple with using AI to improve their efficiency and ease their workload, they must also set standards and guidelines for its ethical use. The East Baton Rouge Parish Library has a multitude of resources in the Digital Library, as well as an upcoming speaker this month, to help you better understand and use this emerging technology. Here are just a few examples:
Visit the Main Library Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. to hear from accomplished businessman and
speaker Henry Hays. Hays spent 20 years in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, most notably building the commercial team at Avanir Pharmaceuticals, where it reached peak sales of $110 million a year. Avanir was purchased for $3.5 billion, the highest multiple in the history of that industry. Hays’ new mission became spreading the power of disruptive innovation coming to all aspects of business around the world. Currently, he is the co-founder and CEO of DisruptReady, a disruptive upskilling company that educates on emerging technology, particularly artificial intelligence.
