12:35 – 2:00 p.m. | Lunch: Breaking the Chains — AI Empowerment in Your Business The adoption of artificial intelligence tools and platforms by the general public has been unprecedentedly rapid. ChatGPT was released in November of 2022. It had one million users (common, everyday, non-technical people) in five days and 100 million users in two months.
