Event details

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but understanding how it’s transforming day-to-day work across organizations is where the real opportunity lies. As AI moves beyond experimentation and hype, it’s reshaping how teams operate, make decisions, and deliver value across every business function, from marketing and HR to finance, operations, and beyond.

Join us for a practical conversation with leaders from Capital Group about applying AI in meaningful, measurable ways. Our speakers will share how their teams are integrating AI into existing workflows, the challenges they’ve navigated along the way, and the lessons learned from moving AI initiatives from concept to execution. Whether you’re just beginning to explore AI, actively piloting tools, or looking to scale impact across your organization, this session will offer real-world insight into what’s working now and what’s coming next.

During this webinar, you’ll learn about:

  • How AI is being used across core business functions to improve efficiency, decision-making, and outcomes
  • Common challenges organizations face when adopting AI and how to address them
  • Practical examples of AI moving from experimentation to everyday use
  • How leaders can build alignment, trust, and readiness for AI-driven change
