TIGER Talk: The AI Labyrinth: The Paths Keep Changing

We’re excited to kick off 2025 by welcoming back one of our most popular speakers on the subject of Generative AI — Michael Compton.

Join Compton as he threads through the winding, ever-changing passages of AI’s transformative impact across five critical domains:

• writing and research
• multimedia content creation
• education & training
• relationship management
• knowledge systems

Each domain will be illuminated through real-world demonstrations, current headlines, and compelling use cases that reveal both practical applications and emerging possibilities. The presentation will weave together technical insights with thought-provoking questions about sociologic, economic, and environmental implications of AI adoption. Unexpected connections will be revealed at every turn.

Throughout this journey, Compton will bring his signature “Hot Takes” and his enthusiasm for navigating AI’s ethical ambiguities.

As in the past, Compton will make complex technological paths accessible & engaging for all who join us.
