The C-Suite’s Guide to Generative AI: Practical Applications for ChatGPT and Automation

A Masterclass from Chief Executive Group

Take part in this focused briefing designed exclusively for time crunched business executives who need to deeply understand this fast-evolving technology – its practical uses and implications – NOW.

No technology since the dawn of the Internet itself has sparked more interest, excitement or, for business leaders, confusion, than Large Language Models and Generative AI—the power behind systems like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-e and others.

These new tools promise revolutionary new ways of doing business, interacting with customers, creating content and much more. Those that understand how to put this technology to use will likely build an unsurmountable competitive edge over those who do not.

But to get there, you need more than hype: You need a strategy. What can these programs really do for you—today? How are they already working inside of businesses? What’s the best way to deploy them to maximize your advantage? What is the most cutting-edge thinking about how to use them? And how do they actually work?

We’ll help you with all of this and more in an exclusive Chief Executive Group Masterclass on June 26. Three of the world’s foremost experts on the practical deployment of artificial intelligence in a business setting will join us to help you understand both the potential and the pragmatic for these game-changing technologies. They’ll go beyond the basics, take your most detailed questions and help you get way ahead of the curve—fast.
