This final session highlights responsible AI and data privacy—critical topics for companies across Racine County as technology continues to evolve. 👇

The AI in Motion series is closing out with a big one. 🎯

Throughout this series, we've explored AI innovation, organizational readiness, upskilling, and hands-on experimentation. Now we're tackling what might be the most important topic of all — how do we build and use AI in a way that's private, ethical, and worthy of trust?

Join us for the final session of AI in Motion, where we'll hear from a cybersecurity and privacy attorney, plus industry leaders from healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment, and financial services — all unpacking how they navigate AI, data privacy, and ethics in their unique environments.

We are so grateful to Microsoft for sponsoring this entire five-part series, alongside AT&T and CustomerTimes, THANK YOU! Also, a big shout out to Genesis10 for sponsoring the finale!
