In this talk, Business AI Collective President, Kate Hutchinson explores AI through a practical, non-technical lens, focusing on what leaders realistically need to understand, where organizations struggle with adoption, and how to get started in meaningful ways. The session examines why the people adapting fastest are often not the most technical, but the most willing to experiment, learn publicly, and stay engaged with change.
