How to Keep Up With AI Without Losing Your Mind

The AI space moves faster than anyone can track. A model you evaluated three months ago is obsolete, a best practice you wrote down last quarter is already wrong, and there’s a new tool every week claiming to change everything. This talk is an honest, practical take on staying current without burning out — from someone whose actual job is keeping an organization’s AI tooling from going stale. We’ll separate signal from noise: which changes genuinely matter to your work and which are hype you can safely ignore, how to build a sustainable intake habit instead of doomscrolling release notes, and how to make decisions when the ground won’t stop shifting. You’ll leave with a realistic system for keeping up that fits inside a normal working life.
