About this Event
AI is everywhere. Useful advice can be harder to find.
AI Means Business is a free evening for business owners, directors and professionals who want to understand what AI can genuinely do for their organisations without the hype, jargon or sales pitches.
We’ll share and discuss practical ideas for using AI to save time, improve productivity and work more effectively, while also considering the important questions around security, privacy, accuracy and responsible use.
These will be honest conversations about AI in real businesses, not futuristic speculation or technical demonstrations that require a computer science degree.
No sales pitches. Just practical ideas you can take away (along with a complimentary book).
What to expect
- Short, accessible talks from people working with AI, technology, marketing and business.
- Practical examples of how AI is being used by real organisations.
- An open conversation where you can ask questions and share experiences.
- Relaxed networking with other local business owners and professionals.
- Drinks and nibbles included.
- The official launch of David Roth’s new book, Beyond the Prompt.
- A complimentary signed copy of the book to take home.
Launching Beyond the Prompt
During the evening, North London IT Support founder David Roth will launch his new book:
Beyond the Prompt – The Business Owner’s Guide to Understanding AI
Written for people who run businesses rather than build AI models, the book offers a practical, plain-English look at how AI really works, where it can help and what business owners should consider before adopting it.
David will explain why he wrote the book, explore some of its central themes and answer questions from the floor. Registered attendees will be able to collect a complimentary copy personally signed by David.
