Tech Talk: Transformers - Intuitively and Exhaustively Explained
Speaker: Daniel Warfield (Eyelevel)
Abstract: In this presentation we'll discuss the transformer architecture, which is at the core of the architecture of nearly all cutting-edge large language models. We’ll start with a brief chronology of some relevant natural language processing concepts, then we’ll go through the transformer step by step and uncover how it works.

Tech Talk: AI Innovation, Privacy, and Ethical Growth
Speaker: Lauren Albert (PMG)
Abstract: As artificial intelligence continues to advance and drive strong business outcomes, the conversation around privacy and ethics becomes increasingly critical. This talk will explore the complex interplay between AI, emerging technology, privacy concerns, and ethical considerations. We will delve into real-world examples of AI applications, examining both their positive impacts and the ethical dilemmas they present. By the end of the session, you'll be challenged to think about your own role in the AI landscape and consider the legacy we are building today. How do you want to look back on AI in the future? Join us to engage in this vital dialogue and help shape a responsible and ethical path forward for AI development.
