Abstract

Get ready for a new and different type of Chapter meeting where you are just as involved as the Speakers. This month we'll be presenting the first PMINJ moderated panel discussion on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Project Managers of the Future.

Entitled "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad AI?", we plan to explore the social, technical, ethical and professional aspects of AI and the effect it is and will be having on our jobs and lives.

Below are links to six short articles that have appeared recently in the news. They cover a range of topics, but all have the common characteristic that they center on changes being driven by AI. Our panelists have received the same articles to review and these will form the core of the discussion. You may feel free to suggest other topics or bring your own items from personal experience.

Take this opportunity to share your insights, opinion, and experiences with us and hear what some of the industry experts think.

You can address the panel prior to the meeting by submitting questions through Member Services.
