AI: What Every Business Leader Needs to Know
For business leaders, the pressure to understand AI is growing. But most AI talks are either too technical, or too abstract. This presentation is designed specifically for non-technical audiences and has earned praise for its clarity and real-world insight. Matt speaks to HR, operations, finance, and marketing leaders who want to understand what AI means for them — no jargon required.
✔ You don’t need a tech background
