Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we live and work—and business is at the center of the storm. From automation and data analysis to marketing and customer service, AI tools are evolving faster than many companies can keep up. So what does this mean for the future of business?

Is AI a powerful tool for innovation and growth? Or a disruptive force with serious risks?

Join UMaine Libraries for a dynamic Salon Series panel discussion that will explore the many sides of AI in the business world. Learn how organizations are already integrating AI, what ethical concerns are emerging, and how small businesses and entrepreneurs can navigate this rapidly changing landscape.

Our panel of experts includes:

– Dr. Jason Harkins, Dean of the Maine Business School at the University of Maine
– Dan Reed, Business Mentor with the SCORE Mentoring Program
– Dr. Berkeley Almand-Hunter, Technical Director of Partner Products at Northeastern University’s Roux Institute

Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, business leader, or just curious about AI's growing role in our world, this event offers a chance to learn from top voices in the field. Come with questions. Leave with insight.

Join us in person at Fogler Library or on Zoom!
