AI through the Eyes of Non-AI Professionals

Antonio Coppola

Assistant Professor of Finance, Stanford Graduate School of Business


Artificial Intelligence is moving beyond experimentation and becoming part of everyday life. From work and learning to creativity, productivity, and decision-making, AI is increasingly being used by people who are not AI researchers, engineers, or technology insiders.

This off-the-record conversation will explore:

  • How everyday users are integrating AI into their daily lives
  • The most valuable use cases emerging outside the tech industry
  • How AI is changing the way people learn, work, and create
  • The habits, workflows, and behaviors developing around AI tools
  • Where expectations match reality, and where they do not

A candid discussion over lunch with Antonio Coppola, whose research in economics and finance increasingly leverages AI tools to better understand global markets, geopolitical dynamics, and financial regulation. Beyond studying these questions, Antonio is also an active daily user of AI across his teaching and research, giving him a firsthand perspective on where these technologies create real value, how they are changing knowledge work, and where they still fall short. Together, we will explore the opportunities, surprises, and lessons emerging from real-world AI adoption.


The Silicon Convivio
A curated roundtable series by iTAL Foundation 

The Silicon Convivio brings together a select group of leaders around a single table for candid conversation and meaningful connection. Each gathering features one or two prominent voices on a topic of current relevance, followed by an interactive discussion among participants. With intentionally limited attendance, the format encourages thoughtful dialogue, direct exchange with the speakers, and high-quality peer connection — all in an elegant, relaxed setting.

Substance, perspective, and connections—over lunch.

Participation is limited to a small group to foster peer-to-peer dialogue.
