Example advice from our panellists:

Ricardo Viana Vargas – CEO & Founder of Macrosolutions

What I can tell you, I’m already dancing this AI dance, of course, many times stepping in the foot of my partner, trying to improve. But, but I think that what you cannot do, it’s to sit and wait.

Dr. Josh Ramirez – CEO of the Institute for Neuro & Behavioral Project Management.

It’s all about critical thinking, which starts in behavioral science. We need to learn how to make better decisions, which is also forms around the science of de-biasing.

Loredana Abramo – Lecturer at Boston University Metropolitan College

AI is here. We as project managers, as leaders in our respective environments, need to step up, to keep connected to others in our thought community, to learn more as much as we can about this.

Ricardo Sastre Martín – Principal Consulting Project Management Microsoft

There are many things going on very quick. There are many news, not all are for real. We need to have our critical thinking as well about what we read.
