AI Profit or Prophet?
On November 17, join us at the start of Microsoft Ignite, for an evening of unexpected insights, meaningful connections, and rich experience uniting pressing, practical questions in AI, including:
In AI-produced tech, what's real and what's illusion?
Come engage with people who are hands-on making the technology, who are at the table where investment and research directions are made, and those who are interested in working with others, pushing in the right direction, to be of service to each other – and to the world.
Let's cut through the noise to have a conversation around what's being built to last and what's for real:
What is most likely to survive as a business?
What will emerge as hucksterism?
What foundations for a secure, useful, trusted AI ecosystem are being laid
And what do we need to defend the future with vigilance?
Featuring industry luminaries, including:
Shannon Lietz, CEO of ThirdScore. DevSecOps and Red Team expert.
Keynote from CMU professor emeritus and author Dr. Stuart Evans
Fireside Chat on AI in SecOps with Forrester Analyst Allie Mellen (hacker, consultant, CEO)
AI x Impact Founder Cassie Gruenstein
Coinbase CSO Philip Martin
Spacewalk CEO Tim Wenzlau
Panel 1: "AI Hunting for Reality / Hallucination Sinkholes in Threat and IR"
Panel 2: "Beliefs, Benefits and Bias in Social Impact AI"
...and MC'd by Mo Sadek of ActiveFence!
Light bites - Mediterranean with meat and vegan options - will be provided, as well as bar.
