UTM Takes The Stage
Building an AI-Powered Business. This week, Universal Tech Movement stepped onto a national stage at AI ICON, one of the country’s premier conferences shaping how artificial intelligence is transforming business and the workforce.
UTM President & CEO, Michael Ward Jr. served as a panelist on “The 2026 Shift: AI Disruption & the Future of the Workforce,” a forward-looking conversation exploring how Agentic AI, human-AI hybrid teams, and ethical governance are redefining leadership and opportunity. The panel went beyond the headlines to focus on what truly matters next: how people develop skills, how roles evolve, and why human strengths like critical thinking, empathy, and judgment are becoming more valuable—not less—in the age of AI.
