AI Summit at Macomb Community College

Exploring the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Southeast Michigan’s Workforce
Join leaders from industry, education, workforce development, and government for a dynamic conversation about how artificial intelligence is transforming the regional economy and shaping the future of work.

The Workforce Intelligence Network (WIN) and Macomb Community College will host an AI Summit on Friday, May 1, bringing together experts and stakeholders to explore the findings of the Macomb Community College Artificial Intelligence Impact Assessment and discuss what these insights mean for employers, educators, and the regional workforce.

The featured presentation will highlight key findings from the report, which examines how emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence, automation, and advanced digital tools—are influencing workforce demand, skills requirements, and training opportunities across Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties. Research from the assessment identifies growing demand for technology skills such as automation, agile development, and AI capabilities, alongside foundational skills like communication, problem-solving, and project management that employers continue to prioritize.

Following the presentation, attendees will hear from a panel of national and regional leaders who will share perspectives on how organizations are adapting to AI-driven change and how collaboration between employers, educators, and workforce partners can ensure Southeast Michigan remains competitive in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
