About the event

IES Detroit October - Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Mark Lein
Our IES Detroit October meeting will be Artificial Intelligence (AI) featuring Mark Lein.

About this Event

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is accelerating into our lives at unprecedented speed. It’s addictive algorithms can suck us into endless YouTube videos and social media engagement, often with nothing of value to show for our time. It can generate and distribute misinformation faster and more effectively than any alternative method without consequence, or conscience.

Anything strong enough to help us is strong enough to hurt us and AI promises both. Our lighting community needs to use AI for good while minimizing its negative impact on us. Hundreds of new tools are available to us for marketing, lighting design, manufacturing, collaboration, developing AI agents, lighting education and more. Attend this session to identify the best tools, what is coming and how we can help to safeguard ourselves and our businesses while utilizing these helpful new tools.
