The Intelligence Revolution
How Large Language Models Have Changed Business Forever
Transformational technologies used to occur once in a lifetime, but in the past two decades, we’ve been party to four: the Internet, the smartphone, social media, and now generative artificial intelligence. Of these, artificial intelligence stands as the most transformational. With the advent of large language models and generative AI, permanent, deep transformation is here. Tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini have trivialized some tasks, allowed others to scale rapidly, and are changing the very foundations of every career, every job, every company. In this keynote talk from TrustInsights.ai Chief Data Scientist Christopher Penn, you’ll learn:
- What large language models can and cannot do
- How large language models are built
- How your organization should be thinking about their usage
- 12 marketing use cases in 6 different areas of focus
- How to approach AI with privacy and data security in mind
- What other applications of the underlying technologies apply to marketing
- How various marketing jobs will be impacted
- What’s just around the corner
Most Best: Winning As A Human in the Age of Machines
How to Stand Out, Stay Relevant, and Succeed in an AI-Driven World
AI is not coming for your job; it’s coming for your mediocrity. In a world where machines grow more capable by the day, success requires more than simply keeping up. It requires becoming irreplaceable. As AI levels the playing field in knowledge, skills, and branding, the key to standing out lies in becoming “most best” — the most best data, the most best ideas, and the most best version of you.
In this engaging keynote, TrustInsights.ai Chief Data Scientist Christopher Penn explores how humans can thrive in the age of machines. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to ensure your unique strengths remain a competitive advantage in an AI-driven world. You’ll learn:
- How AI commoditizes knowledge — and how private, proprietary data can give you the edge
- Why skills are no longer enough, and how great ideas are the new currency of success
- How to build a strong personal brand to stand out in a sea of sameness
- Frameworks and tools to master “most best” thinking in data, ideas, and personal brand
Packed with real-world examples, live demonstrations, and a compelling vision of the future, this talk offers the insight and inspiration you need to win as a human in the age of machines.
