AI Is Already in Your Workplace. Do You Have a Plan?

Source: Two Sides North America, June 2026

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future consideration for businesses. It is already being used every day by employees across nearly every industry. The challenge for business leaders is not whether AI is entering their organization, but whether they have a strategy in place to manage it effectively.

To help organizations better understand AI adoption, security considerations, and practical business applications, NetGain Technologies is hosting its "Get Started with AI. Quickly and Securely." Lunch & Learn Roadshow this August. Designed specifically for business owners, executives, technology leaders, and operations professionals, the sessions will provide a practical roadmap for organizations looking to implement AI responsibly while maximizing productivity gains.

Attendees will learn:

  • Why "shadow AI" presents security and compliance concerns for organizations
  • How to evaluate AI opportunities using a practical Crawl, Walk, Run framework
  • Ways to provide employees access to multiple AI models through secure, managed environments
  • How no-code AI workflows can streamline business processes
  • Real-world examples of organizations achieving measurable productivity improvements through AI adoption

The program will also address growing concerns surrounding data exposure, compliance requirements, governance, and the risks associated with unmanaged AI usage. Participants will see demonstrations of secure AI platforms and gain practical insights they can bring back to their organizations immediately.

For Graphic Media Alliance members, this event offers an excellent opportunity to better understand one of the most significant technological shifts impacting businesses today. Whether your company is just beginning to explore AI or is looking to establish more formal policies and procedures, the Lunch & Learn Roadshow is designed to provide actionable guidance without unnecessary complexity.
