The University of Nebraska Omaha’s artificial intelligence conference has seen remarkable success, selling out for the second consecutive year. Initially designed to assess community interest in AI, the event expanded from 300 to 400 participants, drawing a diverse audience including entrepreneurs, nonprofits, tech startups, and educators. UNO Chancellor Joanne Li emphasized the importance of adapting to AI, noting that while it may displace some jobs, those who engage with the technology can thrive. Attendees like Tilden Bardsley, a tax manager, are already rethinking their business strategies, seeing AI as a tool to enhance rather than replace human work. The conference underscores Omaha’s potential to lead in AI adaptation, with local professionals eager to explore new opportunities and strategies.
