[AT CAPACITY] The RBCx Investor Breakfast Co-Sponsored by Fasken, Ignited by L-Spark

AI: A passing investment fad or a disruptive tsunami?

In this exclusive investor breakfast, we will explore the rapidly-evolving landscape of AI and question whether it’s a bubble or a game-changing force reshaping business as we know it. With many billions of dollars invested in AI companies, some of which have no revenue or product, experts will delve into AI-investments. Are these investments justifiable? Why? And, what are the profound and lasting impacts on the Canadian SaaS market?
