Does AI's long-term success depend on the human using it?

Last week I had the honor of being one of the featured panelists at -- The Real Cost of AI: Build, Scale & Succeed -- hosted by eChai Ventures, PMI& The AI Foundry.

It is invigorating to be part of a discussion with those equally passionate about how the "human side" is essential to building and scaling with AI.

And I made many great connections and shared the wins--and the blood, sweat, and tears--of building with AI and getting others onboard.

Call out to all the other great panelists, moderators and event organizers:
