One, exponential change driven by digitalization, is familiar. The other, AI, is accelerating exponential change into unimaginable challenges. Advances in AI technologies and capabilities are happening faster than leaders, managers, ethicists, legal scholars, and educators can make sense of the coming impacts.</p> <p>In this AI Leadership session, we will define technology and AI in a simple, actionable way; explore the broad context of intellectual tools; learn how to rapidly identify and disseminate those tools within an organization for maximum impact; consider a new way to frame problems and challenges to withstand the threats of rapid change; and revisit how fundamental leadership will be the imperative for winning organizations.</p> <hr>--> <!--<p align="center" style="color:#03244d; margin-top:10px; clear: both;" ><strong>Join waitlist for in-person attendance, or register now for virtual option.</strong></p>--> <!-- <p align="center" style="clear: both;"> <a style="margin-bottom:10px;" href="https://mell-base.uce.auburn.edu/wconnect/CourseStatus.awp?&course=C241009B" target="_blank" role="button" class="btn btn-dkorange">In-Person Registration (Huntsville)</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <a style="margin-bottom:10px;" href="https://mell-base.uce.auburn.edu/wconnect/CourseStatus.awp?&course=C241009C" target="_blank" role="button" class="btn btn-dkorange">Virtual Registration (Zoom)</a> &nbsp;&nbsp; <a style="margin-bottom:10px;" href="" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#jameslockebio" role="button" class="btn btn-dkorange">Speaker Bio</a></p>--> <div class="modal fade" id="jameslockebio" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myLargeModalLabel"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-lg" role="document"> <div class="modal-content" align="left"> <div class="modal-header"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button> <h4 class="modal-title">Dr. James Locke - Full Biography</h4> </div> <div class="modal-body"> <p>James M.
