Webcast

Webcast overview

In our recent KPMG Board Leadership Center (BLC) webcast, Stanford Professor Erik Brynjolfsson, KPMG AI Go-to-Market Leader Per Edin, and BLC Senior Advisor Claudia H. Allen delved into the current state of generative AI (GenAI). Our speakers discussed the board and oversight challenges in the transition from employee experimentation to widespread adoption, emphasizing the importance of (re)training workers, driving behavioral change, and understanding GenAI’s capabilities as an autonomous agent with less “human in the loop.”
