Future of Work podcast image - With the advent of generative AI and large language models and chatbots, we need to take a look at the skills you will need, the jobs that are impacted and the opportunity to increase productivity—not only for yourself, but for an organization as a whole. With AI evolving at lightning speed, are we quickly entering the age of adopt or perish? To take a deeper dive, we have invited Chalenge Masekera to join us. Chalenge is a data scientist currently working at Faros AI, a company dedicated to enabling enterprises to get invaluable insights into their engineering operations. Chalenge's passion lies in harnessing the boundless potential of AI and data-driven insights. He envisions a world where businesses and individuals alike can seize unparalleled opportunities from AI for success in our rapidly evolving world. He received his masters in Information Management and Systems from the UC Berkeley School of Information.

(Amazon later removed the fake books and said that its policies prohibit such imitation.)
