MTI Launches New Quarterly AI Webcast Series September 9

Artificial Intelligence is no longer something coming in the future. It is already changing how companies operate, make decisions, serve customers, develop employees, and compete.

The challenge for business leaders isn’t deciding whether AI will impact their company. It’s understanding where AI can create real value, how to get started, and how to use it responsibly.

On September 9 at 2:30 PM, the Metal Treating Institute will kick off its new quarterly AI Webcast Series with a timely conversation featuring Jay Owen of Business Builders and MTI CEO Tom Morrison.

Navigating How AI Can Be a Force for Your Business

The goal of the webcast series is to keep Members tuned into the innovation surrounding AI, how it impacts heat treaters, and operational ideas for you to consider implementing into your plant.

During this interactive webcast, Tom Morrison will interview Jay Owen about the rapidly changing AI landscape and, more importantly, what it means for business leaders today.

The conversation will move beyond the hype surrounding AI and focus on practical questions every MTI Member should be asking:

• Where can AI make the biggest impact in our business today?
• What tasks can AI help employees perform faster and better?
• How can AI improve productivity without sacrificing quality or good decision-making?
• What risks should leaders understand before employees begin using AI tools?
• How do you create practical guardrails for responsible AI use?
• What should leadership teams be doing now to prepare their organizations for what is coming next?

The webcast will also introduce key concepts behind MTI’s new Responsible AI Playbook, developed by the MTI AI Task Force to help Members establish a thoughtful framework for using AI while protecting company information, customer data, accuracy, and accountability.

Don't Just Watch It…Watch It With Your Team

MTI encourages Members to bring their management teams together for this webcast.

AI isn’t simply an IT issue. It has implications for operations, quality, sales, HR, finance, customer service, maintenance, leadership, and virtually every other area of your company.

After the webcast, take 15 minutes as a team and discuss three questions:

• What did we learn?
• Where do we see opportunities to use AI in our company?
• What should we start doing differently?

Those three questions can turn a one-hour webcast into meaningful action inside your organization.

AI is moving too quickly for companies to sit on the sidelines waiting to see what happens. The organizations that gain the greatest advantage will be those that learn, experiment, establish responsible guardrails, and begin identifying where AI can make their people and processes better.

Join MTI on September 9 at 2:30 PM as we begin helping Members navigate the opportunities, responsibilities, and possibilities of AI.

The goal isn't AI for the sake of AI. It's learning how to make AI a force for your business.
