THOUSAND OAKS — Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing how companies do business. With Generative AI, 50% of today’s business activities could be automated 10 years earlier than previously estimated, research suggests. It will likely affect hours, tasks and responsibilities for workers across wage rates and educational backgrounds. Already, organizations using ChatGPT report that tasks are completed 25% faster and with more than 40% higher-quality results.
To help companies adapt to the new AI reality, on Oct. 10 the School of Management at California Lutheran University will present “AI in the Workplace: Navigating Challenges and Embracing Opportunities.” The ninth annual Executive Talent Management Forum event will bring together academic speakers and industry leaders to explore how AI has altered the many facets of management.
The event will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and held in Lundring Events Center on the Cal Lutheran campus.
“As AI is adopted across industries for automation, decision-making and data-driven insights, we will see growth rates that very few sectors have ever seen,” said Gerhard Apfelthaler, dean of the School of Management at Cal Lutheran. “By 2030, the global AI market is expected to expand to $1.3 trillion.”
