Bot-Tom Line: AI Meets the Boardroom; The Business Roundtable
Founded in 1976, the Business Round Table (BRT) is a nonprofit lobbyist group comprised of CEOs of major US companies that pushes for public policy favorable to business interests, both domestic and foreign. The BRT is notable for many developments in the broader business world, for example, redefining corporate purpose to include all stakeholders. This committee will tackle crises modern corporations are facing such as artificial intelligence regulation and supply chain management logistics. Delegates will be encouraged to heavily embody their CEO characters, learn the motives of their respective corporations, and rely on personal powers in the business world.
