Generative AI, like any advanced technology, can sometimes feel like a black box. It produces remarkable outputs, but understanding how it arrives at those conclusions remains elusive. This lack of transparency raises valid concerns for project managers:

• Trust: Can we truly trust AI recommendations without comprehending its reasoning?
• Accountability: How can we hold ourselves accountable for decisions based on opaque models?
• Bias: What if the AI’s “black box” contains biases from the data it was trained on?

AI can become a powerful ally, but with one crucial caveat – understanding and interpreting its recommendations. In this webinar, we will explore the secrets of leveraging Generative AI effectively. It is a powerful tool waiting to be harnessed. As project managers, we need to embrace transparency, interpret outputs, and lead our teams toward successful project outcomes. Let us step beyond the black box and shape the future of project management together!
