Join this panel discussion highlighting MIT’s work in AI and outlining best practices to recruit top AI talent.

AI is revolutionizing the retail sector, and retailers, stakeholders, and partners should be prepared and confident enough to navigate these innovations and stay competitive in a rapidly changing market. This requires technological literacy, the anticipation of market vulnerabilities, an openness to learn, play, fail (and play again) with AI tools, an awareness of what is currently possible in addition to a curiosity for AI capabilities being developed, collaboration with AI leaders, and finally, access to talent with AI expertise.

The Retail AI Council has invited the Career Development office at MIT Sloan School of Management and the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to present Recruiting Retail + AI Talent from MIT – a panel discussion highlighting some of MIT’s existing work in AI and outlining the best practices for retailers to recruit top AI talent from universities such as MIT. This panel will include student voices on how AI is shaping their academic and professional careers and what they seek when entering the industry. It will also include the perspectives of those working in Business, Client, and Employer Relations at MIT. It will feature ways AI is applied at MIT, and retailers can potentially get involved.

Panelists will include:

• Glenn Wong, Associate Director, Business Development and Client Relations, MIT CSAIL
• Isha Puri, PhD student, MIT CSAIL
• Mark Newhall, Director, Employer Relations & Recruiting, MIT Sloan
• Students from the MIT Sloan Retail & Consumer Products Club, MIT Sloan

This event is free for all Retail AI Council members. If you’re not already a member, registration to the webinar includes membership in the Council.
