5/15 (Wed) Shopify × Growth Meetup (In-Person Event) — The Truth and Myths of AI: What Are the Real "Answers" You Can Apply to Your Business?

At this event, we are pleased to welcome Takanobu Kawano, Representative Director/CAIO of MMOL Holdings Co., Ltd., as our special guest. Together, we will explore in depth how AI should be leveraged in business going forward, and share a vision for the next decade.

About the Event

New AI tools emerge every day, and a flood of information — both positive and skeptical — surrounds them. Consulting, data analysis, customer service, creative work, programming… As some claim that humans will no longer be needed, what kind of direction should business owners take to move forward? We will explain the true "capabilities" of today's trending generative AI, as well as the "myths" that pervade the current AI landscape.
