Sitting in on this AI in the Workplace panel was eye-opening! AI is clearly impacting advances in industry. Here, professionals are sharing how they’re embedding AI into their daily workflows to boost productivity, speed up analysis, and make smarter decisions. What I love most are the real-world examples —showing not just what works, but also the pitfalls to avoid. Such an empowering reminder that using AI can indeed provide a competitive edge. #Tapia2025 #CareerFair #CareerGrowth#GenerativeAI#GenAI

What a powerful moment at Tapia 2025! Rubén Lozano Aguilera delivering the Ken Kennedy Distinguished Lecture. Rubén reminded us that AI isn’t just code—it’s culture. It reflects our values, background, , and experience. He spoke about how AI moves faster than we can govern or fully grasp, and why diverse voices are critical to shaping its future. From building products used by billions at Google and Amazon, to advancing open-source AI at Ai2—his story was genuine, inspiring, and deeply human. A standing reminder that we all belong in AI. #Tapia2025 #InclusionInTech #CMDIT #GenerativeAI #GenAIm
