📍 Builders Club, 165 King St W, Kitchener, ON 🗓️ Monday, September 14, 2026 ⏰ Main event 5:00–8:30 PM · AI Stations and after party to follow

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.

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 👉 

We go deep on the stories most people missed:

 — what the test scores actually say about learning loss and AI


— whale clicks have vowels, and AI is decoding them


 — you can now buy a computer made of living human neurons


 — the internet is a finite resource, and models are nearly through it


 — count the service robots that already exist


 — 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

We've secured a live performance act featuring the Unitree Go2 Pro — an agile quadruped robot that walks, dances, and moves with startling lifelike precision. 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.
