Influence Design in the AI Era

A highlight of the conference was Sean W. Smith's presentation, "Influence Design in the AI Era: Business Strategy." The session was a deep dive into the strategic considerations required for businesses navigating the rapidly evolving landscape shaped by Artificial Intelligence.


The talk, scheduled from 2:00 PM to 2:45 PM, was hosted in Track 2, Theatre 318, and drew a large and engaged audience eager to understand the intersection of AI, design, and market strategy.
