Day 1 of #MAICON24, and the insights are already flowing! Paul Roetzer set the tone with a powerful keynote on how AI is reshaping society. He left no room for doubt—AI is transforming the way we work, live, and think. But what stood out was his call to ensure that as we charge forward with AI, we keep humanity at the center of it all. It's not just about technology; it's about unlocking what we’re truly capable of. Then Andrew Davis took the stage and really shook things up. His session on creating a “digital doppelgänger” with generative AI was packed with actionable ideas. His approach? If we want AI to work harder for us, we need to put more of our unique human touch into it. It’s refreshing to see AI framed as a partner in amplifying human creativity rather than just a productivity booster. Thanks to all of today's speakers: Amanda Todorovich, Yash Gad, Jeff Coyle, Sharon Gai 🦾, Martin Broadhurst FRSA, Andy Crestodina, Greg Kihlstrom, Susan Westwater, Christopher Penn, Ashley Gross, Rachel Woods, Liza Adams, Andrew Mason, Kelly Peters, Tim Hayden, Dustin Callif, Dan Slagen, Katie Berg, Rachel Dooley, Christa Laser, and Elizabeth Shaw!

There is no doubt - the rise of artificial intelligence will have unprecedented impacts on the future of industry, and our civilization as a whole. But in the ongoing debate about AI replacing the need for human capital and creativity, I find myself more and more confident that the ultimate power of AI will only be fully realized through the collaboration of technology and the people behind it. And there is not a more collaborative ecosystem in the world for companies looking to build in AI than Toronto. Last week I sat down with some of the top AI thinkers, builders and ecosystem partners to celebrate the launch of Unilever's AI Horizon 3 Labs. Fascinating discussions with brilliant builders in the space left me more optimistic than ever about the art of the possible.

Vineet Arora, CTO at WinWire, shares insights with RTInsights on how #GenerativeAI can transform your business! While Generative AI is becoming increasingly prevalent, it’s important to first master the fundamentals before diving in to achieve transformative results.
