Earlier this month, the @CTATech invited me to talk AI with a group of @NatPress fellows, early-career journalists in Washington, D.C. I shared the panel with @beccalsteele (Toyota) and Drew Wayne (Siemens), moderated by @JDGrossman (CTA).
When people think about AI, they picture the few labs that make the headlines. The ecosystem is much bigger. It includes data providers like @Definedai, but also traditional industries such as automotive and manufacturing that are putting AI at the core of their operations.
NPF Local Business Fellows spent last week in Chicago exploring the beat, having briefings with experts and small business owners, hopping on the Free Enterprise Express and visiting the Obama Presidential Center and TimeLine Theatre Company.
Thank you, @USChamber, for sponsoring and continuing to support journalists.
