SC Tech: AI in the AM | Week 5

AI in the AM is your standing invitation to show up, ask anything, and stay sharp.

SC Tech, an initiative of SC Competes, is launching this new virtual series specifically for South Carolina's AI industry ambassadors — people like you who are ready to lead the charge on AI adoption and want to keep pace with what's coming next.

Think of it as AI office hours. Short, practical sessions where you can ask real questions and get real answers directly from AI, tech, and cyber leaders across the state. We'll cover tools, workflows, strategy, cybersecurity, implementation — whatever's on your mind. Every session kicks off with a quick topic, but the real value is the conversation. No presentations. No pressure. No such thing as a dumb question.
