About this Event
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how freelancers work.
From writing and design to research, coding, and client management, AI offers powerful capabilities that can save time and boost creativity. But leveraging these tools effectively requires more than just enthusiasm—it demands a thoughtful, informed approach.
Join FX for a deep dive into the practical realities of AI. Whether you are AI-curious or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney, this presentation explores how freelancers can integrate AI into their workflows without losing their unique human touch.
Meet the Expert
Led by Shashank Daté—an engineering leader at an AI startup who has been building revenue-generating products since 2017, this session moves beyond the hype to focus on practical application.
Shashank will guide us through five essential principles:
Collaboration: Using AI as an assistant, not a replacement.
Oversight: Why the human element is non-negotiable.
Security: Protecting your data and your clients'.
Copyright: Navigating IP in the age of generative AI.
Ethics: Ensuring long-term business sustainability.
When not speaking at conferences or building tech, Shashank enjoys archery and robotics—bringing both precision and innovation to this session.
Whether you’re a long-standing member or a first-time guest curious about AI, we’d love to have you at the table. This luncheon is open to members and nonmembers alike—anyone looking to connect with the KC creative community is welcome!
