FCS Artificial Intelligence Community
I was preparing a talk for the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) 2024 conference entitled “AI Revolution: 45 Game-Changing Uses for Transforming Association Professional Development” when I kept running into barriers with the speed at which the technology is disrupting and providing new methods for transforming the professional development arena. As such, I began to move away from the PDF or handout that I had originally intended and moved the talk broader, encouraging more dialogue while still meeting the quota I had set for myself.
Requiring an actionable takeaway from the event, I shifted focus to a website that I could keep up to date. The idea then quickly morphed into a crowdsourcing opportunity which then became a community of practice from which I quickly took note of the design we built for Engaging Virtual Meetings Academy and now I would like to introduce you to our latest product:
