TNG Technology Consulting’s Post

Last week at my invitation, Swarna Kuruganti offered a brief GenAI awareness-building session on zoom to a private, non technical group who belong to the Principle Quest community. She shared the anticipated impact of GenAI on personal productivity and professional opportunities. As one attendee put it, 'Astounding that you just taught us this much info in less than 30 mins!!!' Swarna shared topics like the evolution of GenAI, key role of mathematics in GenAI models, the conversational nature of prompts, opening our eyes to the many implications on how we interact with AI. Fascinating questions & discussion followed about energy use, IP privacy, debate on definition of creativity, and limits to AI. An AI twin in my future? Thank you again, Swarna!"

We filled the arcade hall this morning at Electric Works with over 100 people in attendance! 🎉 I'm so grateful for the panelists that volunteered their time to share their insights on the topics of Ethical and Responsible Use of AI. In the same token, I'm very grateful for those that attended... It's easy to shy away from this topic.... even avoid it altogether. Addressing ethical and responsible use of AI isn't 'required reading' for using this tech, but clearly Fort Wayne proved that they're eager and willing to learn. Because look at this turnout! They #ShowedUp. We learn and grow as we share our experiences together. And in my mind there's no better way to learn and grow than by discussing, debating, or even disagreeing completely. You HAVE to constantly re-think your position on AI as new insights are brought to the table. You have to embrace nuance, and you have to know that 'you don't know what you don't know'. Changing your beliefs/opinions/feelings about AI is the constant. In fact, the change is the ONLY constant. I talked to a few people after the event that disagreed with some of the opinions of the panelists and they loved it, because they loved that we are talking. Not that everyone agrees. In fact, the disagreements are what help us learn. I'm certainly not an expert on Ethical and Responsible Use, but in my gut I knew that this conversation was an important one to have. And this event was a massive success. My hope is that the people in attendance today left the event to talk to their co-workers, students, families, and others about topics we discussed this morning and that it will start that conversation for others. I will end this absurdly (sorry not sorry 🤣) long post with something that Andie Hines-Lagemann said today. 'What's most important is that we care for others. That we care for the people that we are surrounded by now and the people in the next generations. When we maintain that core belief, we make responsible and ethical decisions.' Thank you to Andie, Andrew DeGood, Scott Howard, Amal Khalifa and Kai Blakeborough for helping me put on a very successful event this morning! #AIinFW #FortWayneAI #AI #AIEvent #ArtificialIntelligence #EthicalAI #ResponsibleAI

As I continue to educate myself on AI - in a deeper way - human-useful ways to use it, greater effects it has that no one seems to mention, etc... This audio deep dive was seriously educational about the climate and energy impact of AI. https://lnkd.in/eXUh-sER

Hey, Cincy folks! If you have ever experienced #BLINKCincinnati you know how amazing it is! This year, Vurvey partnered with AGAR for a fantastic event in Cincinnati that you can check out: "Creativity in the Age of AI." If you are interested in learning more about the impact of #AI on #creativity, #innovation, and many other facets of our world, join us for a fun, hands-on experience where you will do far more than hear a speech on AI; you will get to experience and harness it to create in whole new ways! https://lnkd.in/gb_RmDWi

Algorithmic Frontiers . com, a provocative exploration of the meaning of art in the age of GenAI, includes a chatbot (RAG) to enhance the visitor's engagement. It was trained with curated policy, legal, ethical discussions and art work. It's basically a cultural mediator, trained by the artist who created the 12 pieces. 🖼 You can watch the short video in the Explore and Play Section of the virtual exhibit that was launched March 8th 2024. The link to www. Algorithmic Frontiers . com is in comments. The OpenAI link below serves to show that others are doing it too, with a tab bit more budget :-P. #GenerativeAI #artandculture #technology #culturalmediation #OpenAI #AlgorithmicFrontiers Conseil des arts de Montréal Société des arts technologiques [SAT] MUTEK

Shared a few words about KnowHax in this short video. Let me know what you think. More coming your way! #hack #AI #Knowledge @KnowHax I can't wait to welcome Participants, Mentors, and Partners for the next (and second) iteration of KnowHax to build the future of "AI knowledge" - with the National Science Foundation (NSF), The Knowledge Graph Conference, and many of the best US universities funded by the NSF - Purdue University, Georgia Institute of Technology, The Data Science Institute at Columbia University, Temple University, Georgia State University and many more.
