“The Current State of AI and Its Future Potential”
John Reese has been incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) in his work and life for over 50 years, from early systems to today's generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. He currently consults with executives on optimal implementation of GenAI in their organizations. As CEO and founder of Validea.com and Validea Capital Management (companies named for their mission of "validating ideas"), Reese leverages expert system AI technologies in both ventures.
With a BSEE in computer science from MIT and an MBA from Harvard Business School, Reese has built a career bridging technology and business. He holds three patents and has authored two books, including "The Guru Investor" (Wiley). His corporate experience includes serving as VP of Strategic and Technical Development for a Fortune 500 telecommunications company.
AI is reshaping business, society, and education with unprecedented speed. This interactive presentation will:
- Demonstrate the current state of AI through live demonstrations
- Show how AI can benefit your personal life—from health and finance to hobbies
- Reveal how businesses can leverage AI to gain competitive advantages
- Share insights into how generative AI actually works
- Explore AI's transformative impact across specific industries
- Provide practical tools you can start using today
Through hands-on participation, you'll learn expert tips for maximizing ChatGPT's potential—whether you're a complete beginner or experienced user. Join us for a glimpse into both the immediate applications and future possibilities of AI technology.
Through his non-profit leadership roles, Reese chairs the HBS NY Alumni Forums and serves as director at large of the RMA. His previous leadership roles include board positions with the HBS NY Alumni Angels and HBS Club of Connecticut. A recognized voice in finance and technology, he has appeared on CNBC, The Street, and Fox Business News, and contributes to Forbes.
Our next speaker, on November 20, will be David Rabin, CEO Greenwich United Way, on “Greenwich United Way: The One Organization That Helps All of Greenwich.”
