The Legal Services of Greater Miami (Legal Services) hosted its Eighth Annual Business Breakfast Panel at Greenberg Traurig.

The event brought together thought leaders to explore, “The Future of Work: Harnessing AI for Innovation & Impact.”

This year’s discussion focused on the transformative role of artificial intelligence in reshaping industries while also addressing its challenges and broader implications. Moderated by Matt Haggman, chief strategic initiatives officer at Right to Start, the panel featured experts:

  • Jennifer Baez, chief of staff, Innovation & Economic Development, Miami-Dade County;
  • Christian Martinez, president, Caleco Consulting Group; and
  • James A. Paretti, Jr., shareholder, Littler

Panelists examined how AI is driving innovation, optimizing business operations, and enhancing customer experiences. They also highlighted the importance of adopting AI ethically and responsibly. The discussion tackled key concerns such as data security, the long-term implications on the workforce, and the need for AI advancements to help bridge, rather than widen, economic disparities.

The event culminated with a Q&A session, followed by closing remarks from Legal Services CEO Monica Vigues-Pitan, who underscored the importance of considering AI’s impact across all sectors of society.

“As AI transforms our business community and workforce, it’s crucial to consider its effect on all members of society, particularly low-income individuals who are often the most vulnerable to economic shifts,” she said.

Vigues-Pitan also expressed gratitude to Greenberg Traurig for its support, as well as to the panelists and attendees for their contributions. She encouraged continued dialogue on the evolving role of AI in the workforce.
