AI - is it real or a mirage?


What is certain is that today AI is on the lips on just about everyone in credit union land.


What also is real is a recent MIT finding that 95% of large companies with AI initiatives are getting zilch out of them.


Ouch.


That does not have to be the reality for credit unions.


On the show today is Kirk Drake, CEO of CU 2.0, author of FINANCIAL, a 2020 book that envisions the rise of AI in our lives and in credit unions, and he also is hosting LAUNCH, a September 23-25 event in Oregon which wears this tagline: This isn’t a conference. It’s a launchpad.


In prior years the event was labeled CU 2.0 Live. This year it is held in partnership with Community Financial Credit Union’s ROOM (39)a initiative. Thus the name change.


A huge focus in the event will be launching good stuff in AI.


Drake tells all about the event in this show and the website has a small checklist - Are You in the Right Place? - that helps you decide if this event is for you or that it isn’t.


Listen up.
