  Speakers

Dr. Rajiv Garg, Associate Professor (Emory University’s Goizueta Business School)

Topic:

From Learning to Leading: Thriving in the Age of AI

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing not only what engineers can build, but how we learn, solve problems, and create value. This talk explores how AI is transforming education and the future of work, moving us from AI as a productivity tool toward AI as a collaborator, agent, and increasingly capable partner in problem solving. Through examples from the classroom and research, Rajiv Garg will examine what skills become more valuable as AI becomes more capable, how we can redesign learning and work around human-AI collaboration, and what it will take to thrive in a world where intelligence itself is increasingly abundant.
