ACC-OC Policy Dinner: Governing in the Era of Artificial Intelligence
We're thrilled to share the success of our recent event on the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in local governance. The audience engaged actively with our esteemed panelists, including Dr. Kostas Alexandridis, GIS Analyst at OC Survey Geospatial Services, OC Public Works, Keith Strier, Vice President of Worldwide AI Initiatives at NVIDIA, and Dr. Erik Linstead, Senior Associate Dean and Associate Professor in Machine Learning at Chapman University.
