The era of artificial intelligence is here and businesses should use the tool wisely rather than shy away from it, according to presenters at the Kruse Way Economic Forum. The discussion Tuesday, April 30 was hosted by Buckley Law, the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce and other organizations at the Kruse Oaks Conference Center.

At the event, Portland State University professor Christof Teuscher, Buckley Law shareholder Martin Medeiros and city of Lake Oswego librarian April Younglove discussed the rise of AI, as well as some of the practical and legal challenges associated with the tool and how businesses should harness it.
