Keynote Speaker

Beth 'Z'

Your Nerdy Best Friend

AI's Biggest Questions, Myths, and Mysteries

Sunday, Dec 7

Sponsored by Merck Animal Health

Artificial Intelligence (AI) often feels like a blend of buzzwords and bewilderment. Will robots take our jobs? Does ChatGPT steal our data? Are AI tools big fat liars?

Join Beth Z, Your Nerdy Best Friend, in a lively exploration of AI’s most puzzling questions and common myths. With nerdy humor mixed with practical tips, Beth Z makes the enigmatic world of AI a tad less intimidating and a lot more intriguing. In this session, you'll...
- Learn ways to future-proof your job from an AI takeover
- Understand why AI makes up facts and how to combat misinformation
- Examine the issue of data privacy
- Gain insight into AI challenges with plagiarism and copyright infringement
- Discover the newest AI tools and how to stay on top of new AI technology and opportunities.

Since her first Motorola RAZR flip phone, Beth has made a verb out of the word "nerd." She's here to help you filter through thousands of apps, gadgets, widgets and doodads to find the perfect free and bargain technology tools for work and home. Although the only real trophy she ever won was for making perfect French fries at McDonald's in high school, Beth Z has been featured on Best Speaker lists by several organizations who write best speaker lists. She has written a whole shelf of books on apps and has spoken to more than 100 thousand audience members just like you. And if you're puzzling over why she goes by "Beth Z"... it's because she only finds about three people a year who can pronounce her last name.
