Thanks for participating in this month's meetup! Sharing a recap of the questions answered live, with associated timestamps: 

Question – With AI, and all of the required consulting which does need to be somewhat tailored to the customer, to the industry, and yet generic on the MSP side --- are we evolving back to the days of IT consultancy as the primary business model where AI is concerned? Is MSP still a valid moniker for the role we will be playing? Maybe VAR is more accurate because the consulting is the value add and makes it more understood that there needs to be a longer-term engagement to achieve said value? – answered at 34:44.

Question – What’s your experience in vertical specialization? – answered at 39:10.

Question – What about automation gone wrong? What should we keep an eye out for? What have you seen (so we can avoid going down a bad path)? – answered at 41:34.

Question – As an MSP and I’m thinking about my business, how do I think about accountability in a way that impacts my bottom line? – answered at 44:31.

Question – What’s the first line of defense against unsanctioned data use in AI? – answered at 52:10.

Thanks, great session!

One question: I tried to access the Resource Guide using the link

https://aka.ms/MeetupForMSPs , but it only opens the Tech Community homepage. Is there an updated link available?
