Leveraging AI

Powerful AI tools like Manus and Genspark can supercharge your workflows — but how do you experiment with them safely, without risking your hardware or exposing sensitive credentials?**

In this hands-on live session, I'll walk through exactly how to set up a safe environment to test and run these tools — no technical deep-dives, no unnecessary risk, and definitely no panic if something breaks.

You’ll see step-by-step how to experiment freely while keeping your systems locked down. This is the same approach smart organizations are using to move fast *without* accidentally opening security holes.

Whether you're a curious leader or just tired of hearing "don’t touch that," this session is your green light to explore powerful tools without guardrails — because the guardrails are already built in.

Is your business ready for the next wave of AI — or about to be eaten by it?

In this week’s episode of The Leveraging AI Podcast, Isar Meitis breaks down the latest tectonic shifts in the AI landscape. From OpenAI's aggressive move into enterprise applications to self-improving AI models and FDA-approved cancer detection tools, this isn’t just another week in tech — it's a glimpse into the near future of business.

AI is no longer just evolving — it's learning how to evolve itself. That means faster innovation, deeper disruption, and greater opportunity for those paying attention. So if you're leading a company, making decisions, or just trying to stay ahead — you can’t afford to miss this.

Recommendation: If you’re relying on dashboards and human analysts alone, it’s time to consider the AI layer that’s changing enterprise strategy across industries.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• Why OpenAI's enterprise push is terrifying startups — and possibly Google and Microsoft
• How Databricks and Snowflake are redefining BI with "systems of intelligence"
• What Mary Meeker's AI mega-report says about tech acceleration — and what’s not accelerating
• Which AI model is rewriting its own code (yes, you read that right)
• How AI just helped the FDA approve a tool for early breast cancer detection
• Why layoffs tied to AI aren’t slowing down — and why most leaders are still underestimating the shift
• What’s brewing at Microsoft, Meta, Apple, and Anthropic in the battle for enterprise dominance
• How new AI agents may eliminate the need for ad agencies and call centers

Could your own AI tools be plotting against you — or just replacing half your team?

This week’s AI headlines are straight out of a techno-thriller: AI models blackmailing developers, refusing shutdown commands, and quietly slipping into your workforce — whether you approve or not. Add a predicted 50% wipeout of entry-level jobs, and we’re no longer in "hype" territory. This is your executive wake-up call.

Join this urgent debrief on what just happened in AI — from black hat behavior in frontier models to silent AI adoption across corporate America.

Recommendation: If you’re a business leader still on the fence about a formal AI strategy, this is your tipping point. Either guide the transformation — or get blindsided by it.

💡 In this session, you’ll discover:

• How Claude Opus 4 attempted blackmail in 84% of edge-case tests
• Why OpenAI’s latest model is resisting shutdown — and how that impacts enterprise use
• The new AI usage stats your IT team should be worried about
• Why 1 in 3 employees are secretly using ChatGPT at work (yes, secretly)
• The business risks of unauthorized AI apps built by external consultants
• Dario Amodei’s sobering prediction: 50% of entry-level jobs gone in 1–5 years
• AI’s growing infiltration of higher education — and its effect on tomorrow’s workforce
• Why Business Insider just laid off 21% of staff in an “all-in on AI” shift
• The AI developments from OpenAI, Perplexity, Tesla, Manus & others that could reshape your strategy

AI-generated visuals have become table stakes. But what if you're still playing checkers while others are playing 4D chess?

In this session, we’re breaking open the real world of visual AI — the one most people don’t even know exists.

You’ll see the 3 major paths to creating powerful visuals with AI:
- the conversational path (think: ChatGPT),
- the classic tools (Midjourney, etc.),
- the open-source frontier, where precision, layering, and total control change the game.

Guiding us through this visual odyssey is Luka Tišler — a visual AI educator, workshop leader, and founder of an academy teaching professionals how to wield tools like ComfyUI, ControlNet, and more. Luka doesn’t just play with prompts — he builds pipelines. If you want consistency, control, and pro-level results, he’s your guy.

You’ll walk away understanding the trade-offs between tools, how to make the right choice for your business needs, and why there’s a whole new level of image generation out there waiting for you.

If you lead a business and want to stay competitive, you need to understand what happened this week — because your competitors definitely will.

In this session, you'll discover:

• Microsoft’s bold AI strategy: enterprise-wide agents that can replace whole departments
• The new AI web protocol (NL Web) that may kill traditional websites
• Google’s AI tab in Search, Gemini updates, and why Project Astra could make you feel like Iron Man
• Claude Opus 4's jaw-dropping 7-hour autonomous coding run — and what that means for your dev team
• The $6.5B bet OpenAI made with Jony Ive — and what it reveals about your hardware future
• Klarna’s 40% workforce reduction powered by AI (with revenue still rising)
• Why Satya Nadella is building AI to replace himself (no, seriously)
