DESCRIPTION

Join us at JOIST Innovation Park for the second consecutive meetup of technology professionals and students, featuring discussions on Artificial Intelligence and the opportunity to enjoy some online gaming during the event!
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has revolutionized the tech space in recent years. By utilizing sophisticated algorithms and harnessing vast amounts of data, AI has gained the ability to “understand” natural language and generate human-like content. However, despite its impressive capabilities, this technology poses significant security concerns, including the potential for misleading content, personal data breaches, and the need for robust control mechanisms to guard against malicious use.
The main objective of the event is to foster a fruitful dialogue among participants, focusing on both the potential and challenges of using GenAI. Key topics will include the effective and secure use of AI tools, user safety, and the prevention of malicious activity.
Participants will also have the chance to engage in online gaming, which will enhance their understanding and interaction with AI tools, both personally and professionally. This interactive element will be a key part of the event.
After the meetup, there will be time for participants to socialize over a beer, where discussions will continue on community issues and suggestions for future events.
The event is supported by the AI Group – AI Catalyst and the participation of Larissa Developers. The event is aimed at:

  • School College Students
  • Employees regardless of sector or speciality
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Any person wishing to become familiar with AI

Be an early bird! Seating at the Meetup is limited and will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Reserve your spot today for a unique learning and networking experience!
