Session summary
This talk will cover some of the recent advances in AI, explaining what’s behind some of the terminology we hear and giving an indication of what approaches are good for what problems. I will highlight some technical resources for developers who aren’t necessarily working in AI yet but who may need/want to learn more about it. I will also reference some of the ethical issues surrounding use of AI technologies that developers need to be aware of.
7:30-8:00pm - More pizza, catch ups, discussions.
It's set to be a great evening and we promise the pizza will be good.
See you there,
Dev Hub North Team.
