SUMMARY:Getting Started with AI: Practical Examples for NZ Business
DESCRIPTION:The conversation around AI is everywhere\, but how do you actually begin using it within your New Zealand business operations? If you’re curious about AI’s potential but looking for clear\, practical starting points\, join our community discussion. \nAndrew McPherson and Tim Clark will share their experience from recent AI projects\, insights gained\, successes and failures. The focus will be on practical steps that have achieved results. \nWe’ll move beyond the hype to discuss the pros and cons of three foundational approaches that we have been using: \n\n\nUsing Off-the-Shelf AI: Exploring the opportunities and considerations when incorporating OTS tools (like ChatGPT\, Microsoft Copilot) for common business tasks. \n\n\nFocused AI Projects: Discussing the approach of targeting a specific\, high-impact business problem with a tailored AI solution. \n\n\nAI for Process Automation: Showing how AI and automation can work together to improve efficiency in handling routine internal processes. \n\n\nWe aim to provide a balanced view\, covering potential benefits\, challenges\, and real-world examples for each pathway\, fostering a better understanding for everyone. \nWho Should Attend:\nAnyone involved in leading or managing a New Zealand business who wants to better understand the practical options for beginning their AI journey in an accessible\, non-technical forum. \nJoin the conversation! Let’s explore these foundational AI strategies together and learn from shared perspectives. We hope to see you there.
