The event is free and open to the public. Business professionals, educators, students and anyone interested in the evolving role of AI in the workplace and education are encouraged to attend.
In the workplace, AI streamlines operations, enhances decision-making and introduces new efficiencies, from predictive analytics in finance to intelligent automation in manufacturing. In schools, AI personalizes learning experiences, supports educators with smart tools and prepares students for a tech-driven future, according to the announcement.
Frey is a leader in smart building technology
Frey has been a leader in smart building technology and AI-powered facility management. As CEO of Cummins Facility Services, she has transformed a traditional janitorial company into an innovation leader, integrating AI, Internet of Things and data-driven solutions into facilities nationwide. She is also the founder of Facility Data Standard and FacilityGenius, as well as the driving force behind FacilityInSites, a platform that brings intelligence to buildings through real-time sensors, robotics and analytics.
Cummins Facility Services is pioneering the use of AI in facility management through innovations like FacilityGenius, which leverages predictive cleaning, indoor air quality monitoring, real-time task tracking and intelligent data insights to transform how buildings operate. Frey’s conversation will explore how AI is reshaping the future of facilities and sustainability while sharing how her journey, rooted in Marion, continues to drive innovation and opportunity locally and globally.
Event is part of Ohio State’s AI fluency initiative
The event is part of Ohio State’s AI fluency initiative, which aims to integrate artificial intelligence into the undergraduate educational experience. The initiative will ensure that every Ohio State student, beginning with the class of 2029, will graduate being AI fluent — fluent in their field of study and fluent in the application of AI in that field.
The initiative also extends into Ohio communities, where the university is building on this broad effort to advance AI education and application. Ohio State is empowering small business owners with the skills to use AI confidently, according to the announcement. AI pathways, two online, self-paced courses, will provide resources to help business owners use AI to address their individual needs, whether launching or growing a business, finding efficiencies or identifying new ideas.
Attendees are asked to RSVP online.
