In an effort to start a conversation around business and artificial intelligence, Neal organized an event for students to hear from three experts in the field of AI. Neal engaged in research around AI–specifically how small businesses can leverage specific AI tools–and used what he found to connect with speakers, plan an event, and facilitate a meaningful discussion with students interested in entrepreneurship. The symposium allowed students to speak directly with innovators in the artificial intelligence industry and gain a deeper understanding of the emerging role AI will play in launching small businesses.
