​San Francisco is on fire – we keep on building AI-driven solutions for the world at the speed of light! But hey, while each one of us is laser focused on solving a particular problem for our clients and stakeholders, we create an economic shift on a global scale. Let’s take a helicopter view at our global impact as a community – and let’s talk about the elephant in the room! 

​In this event, we will explore the transformative impact of AI on the workforce. This event will examine AI-driven advancements in various industries, highlighting how these technologies enhance productivity, professional growth, but also mental health. We will discuss the evolving economic landscape, addressing AI's role in job creation, displacement, and skill requirements. 

​But with great power comes great responsibility! We will also discuss the opportunities and pitfalls that AI creates for professionals in 2024. Join us to speculate on the future of work in the AI era and the ways to harness AI's potential for sustainable professional development.

​This is a BYOB event cast in one of San Francisco’s most hipster offices. We will discuss and speculate in a family atmosphere, among founders, innovators, and AI enthusiasts. Your voice is important! Join us and share your point of view with us :)

​And of course, we will be serving snacks & soft drinks.

​KEYNOTE TALK: Dario de Santis, Tweelin

​Talk title: How to Create a Defensible Workplace AI Product Strategy in Today's Fast-paced Market

​With Generative AI being already commoditized and capital-intensive, startups who build solutions on top of existing LLMs may risk hindering their ability to differentiate. In this session, we will explore cost-effective strategies to maintain a competitive edge.

​TALK: Natalia Bielczyk, PhD, Ontology of Value

​Talk title: How AI Resembles Human Brain and How It Shapes the Global Labor Market

​We might soon find ourselves at a point of singularity where another species surpasses us in many of cognitive skills traditionally seen as uniquely human. In this talk, we'll discuss similarities and differences between human cerebral cortex and Large Language Models, and the possible consequences for the labor market in the next 10-15 years. What's the future of work and can we make an educated guess? Is Universal Basic Income a utopia, or rather, is it inevitable? Lastly, can we find Pascal's wager, i.e., is there any proven strategy for career and business development, regardless of which socio economic scenario plays out?
