SUMMARY:RBTC's AI Decoded
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to dive headfirst into the world of artificial intelligence at RBTC’s AI Decoded—where innovation meets inspiration. This isn’t your average tech talk—we’re breaking down AI in a way that’s exciting\, approachable\, and packed with practical insights. \nIt’s no secret that AI is imperfect: models hallucinate incorrect facts\, perpetuate historical bias\, and can even make decisions with disastrous real-world consequences. Yet the sheer power of AI for interpreting the world around us demands a way to extract real insight from systems we know will sometimes be wrong. \nAs it turns out\, we’ve solved this problem before. Humans—imperfect\, biased\, and error-prone—have long been embedded in systems that nonetheless produce reliable outcomes. In this talk\, Eric Pauley will explore why AI models make mistakes\, why they won’t be perfect any time soon\, and how the same principles that make human-centered systems safe can help us build secure\, reliable AI-powered systems. \nWhether you’re AI-curious or already in the game\, you’ll be in great company with a community of forward-thinkers who are just as fired up as you are. \nLet’s decode the hype—and the opportunity—together. \n \nREGISTER NOW
