​age:AI returns to Kitchener as part of Waterloo Tech Week, and this edition is built around live debate. We make AI awareness accessible to everyone — no jargon, no hype, just the real shifts shaping the next five years, explored through hands-on demos, an evening of debate panels, and a room full of people figuring it out together.

​🎙️ Open Call: Become a Panelist

​The panels are the heart of the night: two sides, one question, real arguments. We're still choosing panelists, and the seats are open. Pick a side and stake your claim on questions like:

​Most wasteful: Compute vs. Labor AI as friend: Good vs. Bad AI will: Save us vs. Kill us AI is a bubble? Yes vs. No Whether you're an optimist, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, there's a seat for you. Apply here 👉 https://ageai.io/#panels

​🧠 Discussion Topics

​We go deep on the stories most people missed:

​The Lost Generations — what the test scores actually say about learning loss and AI Talking with Animals — whale clicks have vowels, and AI is decoding them Birth of Wetware — you can now buy a computer made of living human neurons Running Out of Reality — the internet is a finite resource, and models are nearly through it The Faceless Kitchen — count the service robots that already exist The Automation of Automation — the moment AI agents started changing things, not just describing them

​Plus interactive AI Stations to try the latest tools yourself, and plenty of time to network with founders, builders, and the curious.

​Come for the debate. Stay for the demos. Leave knowing what AI can actually do today.

​🤖 Special Performance: Meet a Unitree Go2 Pro

It's one thing to debate where robotics is headed; it's another to watch it trot across the room. Come see the future on four legs, up close.
