Keynote speech for the CSM team

“Differentiate or Die trying to” was the title of the keynote speech that Michael R. Virardi delivered on three different occasions (in May 2018) for the personnel of Columbia ShipManagement (CSM). The speech was geared towards

• Understanding the effects and the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our day to day work environment.
• How humans can counteract the ‘threat’ that a technologically advanced world is posing to the current workforce as well as
• The opportunities that today’s professionals – irrespective of position or hierarchical rank – can derive from a fully digital and computerised world.
