Symposium for AI in Business 2026

The world is experiencing a once in a generation technological shift driven by artificial intelligence. Our keynote at the DePaul AI in Business Symposium explored how exponential technological progress is often underestimated and why continuous learning and adaptability are essential in this new era.

AI represents the sixth major wave of computing innovation following mainframes, personal computing, networking, the internet, mobile, and cloud. As the market moves through a filtration phase, companies that fail to integrate AI risk disruption while a new generation of AI native builders emerges.

Global AI leadership begins with local conversations and values. The choices individuals and communities make today will shape how AI scales across society. By investing in talent, education, and responsible innovation, institutions like DePaul and the broader Chicago ecosystem can help guide the direction of this transformation.

The final message is simple. The fastest way to navigate the AI revolution is to learn by doing and actively experiment with the tools available today. At Decasonic, we apply this approach internally by building AI native workflows and systems such as the Reinforcement Learning Expert Network (RLEN) to augment human judgment.
