Welcome to the monthly in-person AI meetup in Boston, in collaboration with Microsoft. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and machine learning, food/drink, networking with speakers and fellow developers.

Agenda:
* 5:30pm~6:20pm: Checkin, Food and Networking
* 6:20pm~6:30pm: Welcome/community update
* 6:30pm~8:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A
* 8:00pm: Open discussion & Mixer

Tech Talk: Scalable AI -- Lessons from Biological Architectures for Cognitive Ones
Speaker: Rachel St. Clair (Simuli)
Abstract: Resource management is a tool nature has crafted over years of evolution. This tool not only has helped organisms and humans alike scale, but grow intelligence inside complex systems. Our focus will be on the two driving mechanisms of resource management as it relates to intelligence -- how to learn new things without forgetting old things and how to bootstrap a-priori knowledge. We'll discuss how these mechanisms work, their relation to existing AI. Finally, we'll showcase some recent work in our new cognitive architecture "ReArc".

Tech Talk: Is the LLM the last invention humanity needs to make?
Speaker: Joscha Bach (Liquid AI)
Abstract: The success of LLMs is taking the world by storm. The Turing test seems to have been obliterated years ago, and more applications and use cases are unlocked every week. Yet many of us are skeptical: are LLMs sufficient to carry us all the way to AGI? Are they the way to creating superhuman intelligence, a transitional development, or a dead end?

Tech Talk: Efficient and Robust Vision Learning with Hyperdimensional Computing
Speaker: Peter Sutor (Simuli)
Abstract: Hyperdimensional computing allows low memory encoding of data that can be efficiently computed in hypergeometric spaces. These spaces afford few-shot learning techniques without suffering accuracy when compared to traditional deep learning methods. We'll show a new method of AI for classification that is cheaper to train and use.
