Navigating the Realities of the GenAI Hype Cycle
GAI-13
Founder and CEO
Unified Office
Member
Dickinson Wright PLLC
Tech Advisory Board Member
Accure.AI
GenAI is riding an unprecedented hype wave, fueled by massive investment, rapid technology advancement, and a surge of innovative applications. However, this excitement is increasingly becoming intertwined with a parallel wave of legal challenges, from copyright infringement claims to concerns about bias and misinformation to intellectual property misuse, among others. The question that remains is how will these legal outcomes impact AI regulation and, by extension, existing applications and models and the current GenAI market trajectory? What is the potential for legal and regulatory risk to derail the early GenAI adoption cycle, create a modern version of the dot com bubble of the 90s where thousands of companies crashed and burned and, if that happens, what will a potential new GenAI hype cycle and landscape look like when the smoke clears? And, in the mean time, how should companies already invested in GenAI proceed in order to limit their risk exposure?

Keynote Presentation: Utilizing Generative AI for Improving Soft Skills
K-02
Santhosh Srinivasan
Sr Cloud Architect
AWS
Generative AI is transforming industries and driving innovation at a rapid pace. At a time when AI technologies are performing so many tasks efficiently, there are still a lot of things that require the human connection. Many roles like sales, marketing, human resources and even technology need humans with comprehensive verbal skills, leadership skills and emotional intelligence to build teams, connect personally and help pave the way for a better future. But, in an increasingly technology-driven world, it is no surprise that human relationships and soft skills have started to lag behind. Generative AI can be used as an effective tool to help improve and upskill these much needed soft skills by offering personalized and interactive learning experiences. For instance, AI-powered platforms can provide real-time feedback on communication skills, enabling users to refine their verbal and written expression. Additionally, AI can simulate emotional scenarios to help individuals practice empathy and emotional intelligence. This session is focused on ideas and strategy to use the powerful AI models to help improve the soft skills by designing tools to enhance teamwork and collaboration which can facilitate better decision-making and cooperation among team members.

The Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) community faces significant barriers when interacting with customer support systems, resulting in missed opportunities and lost revenue for businesses. What constitutes a high-quality customer experience for the Deaf community? How many Deaf customers are reaching out to your business today? In this session, we will explore the disparities in customer support for the DHH community, examine the current state of access, and highlight the costs of inadequate solutions. Attendees will gain insights on how to offer more equitable customer experiences, tap into a largely underserved market, and improve overall customer satisfaction. This session will address the critical gap between the customer support experiences currently offered to the Deaf community and the expectations of both customers and businesses. We will discuss common misconceptions about what constitutes accessible service and explore the real needs of DHH customers. Through a focus on emerging technologies, such as live support using WebRTC, AI-powered sign language recognition, and virtual signing avatars, we will demonstrate how businesses can leverage these tools to provide accessible, impactful, and customer-centric experiences. We will also highlight the importance of integrating live support with native language users to ensure an inclusive environment, strengthen brand reputation, and ultimately unlock access to an untapped market of millions. Understand the current limitations of technologies used by businesses to engage with the Deaf community, and why many existing solutions are outdated and ineffective. Explore how legacy solutions, some of which are 20-40 years old, contribute to inequitable access and a subpar customer experience for Deaf individuals. Learn about innovative, forward-thinking technologies that are improving accessibility, including WebRTC, AI-driven sign language recognition, and virtual avatars. Discover the positive impact that equitable customer experiences can have on business success, customer loyalty, and brand equity.
