Human Judgment vs. Machine Intelligence Panel

Topic Focus: Where Al adds value-and where it doesn’t. Our expert Insights panel from Google, The Clorox Company & eBay  will share strategies to avoid over automation & preserve insight.

This event is ideal for leaders who work with/receive insights. All chapters are welcome to attend.

In our last session, we explored how AI tools are transforming business across disciplines from insights and marketing to operations and strategy. Now, as leaders, we face a deeper question:

How do we distinguish between a “beautiful argument” and a data-driven truth?
As AI-generated analysis becomes the corporate standard, the risk of over-automation is real. If the evidence is missing, even the most polished presentation can lead a brand astray.

Join the P&G SF Alumni Chapter, in partnership with the P&G Alumni Women in Leadership Forum and P&G Alumni Insights & Analytics Forum, for a deep dive into the critical intersection of human judgment and machine intelligence.

This session is built for decision-makers who must interpret analysis, challenge assumptions, and protect insight integrity. RSVP early > to secure your spot. More details coming soon!

Guests are welcome! Feel free to invite friends and family, and we encourage you to forward this invitation to fellow P&G alumni in the Bay Area to help grow our community.

We can’t wait to see you there!
