Generative AI is Everywhere--including AF June events!

May 18

Friends, we were thrilled with the response to our multiple "AI April" events. We had five events--ok, one was rescheduled into early May--and three AI-related podcasts. And yet, it wasn't enough! Interest in AI is exploding right now due to generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Bard, Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, and more, but we covered AI more comprehensively in our April programming. So, we're going to focus on generative AI specifically in June, with three events you won't want to miss!

  • June 6: Our Monthly Presentation Event will help you understand and use generative AI (GenAI) tools for work/productivity. This month we will have tables instead of theater seating, and each table will focus on a different GenAI tool (after the main presentation) and have an expert provide demos and hands-on instruction (for those who bring a device).
  • June 14: Our Monthly Online Discussion Event will discuss the book "Superintelligence" by Nick Bostrum, a book about the potential extreme capabilities for AI that seems less far out in the era of GenAI than it did just 5 months ago!
  • June 20: Our Monthly Meetup Event will focus on large language models and how to not only use but improve them. Experts welcome (and laptops, too!).

So, we hope to see you for more practical information, usage instruction, and discussion of the potential and pitfalls of GenAI in June!
