Don’t miss this highly anticipated March 28 panel discussion featuring top AI thinkers.

Artificial Intelligence, or AI as we call it, seems to be moving at the speed of light — with new apps coming online practically daily. Do we understand it? Should we embrace it or fear it? Which are the best platforms, and how can a keen understanding of AI make you a more effective PR practitioner and communicator?
