The founder of two technology firms and the author of a recent book on AI made clear that anyone who does not embrace it will go the way of the dinosaur. “AI allows a human being to become about a hundred to a hundred-and-fifty percent more productive within six weeks,” he said. “That's never happened before. Ever.” Over several hours on two days, speakers shared opinions, experiences and data that made clear how the tech is altering what we know of 21st-century work, life and education and how universities, in particular, will have to adapt.
