Business owner Derrick Edwards is doubling down on artificial intelligence.
“We are an example of an organization that is all in on AI in every respect,” Edwards said of AGS Data Systems, the company he founded in River Falls in 1999. “Every employee we have is provided with multiple AI tools, whether they are in sales and marketing, training and development, software or technology development.

Edwards’ company, which provides data collection management and analytic software platforms for workforce development and education, is also integrating AI into its applications so clients can leverage the technology to solve business problems.
