Mr. Stark will also ‘moderate’ the guest speaker doings.

Also, if you have a ‘troubled’ system (or your system has a troubled user!) please contact Chuck via email to arrange for a ‘Live, No Net’ troubleshooting session in front of the group.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)(hybrid meeting – on-site and remote)
9:30 – 10:30 am

For August, Howard Harkness noted that it’s been a busy month in the world of AI. Although Howard took about a month off, the AI companies certainly did not.

Having sufficiently recovered from lung surgery (turned out well), Howard plans to quickly gloss over some of the major technological events of the past month or so (time permitting, he may have some demos to show), then talk about the political and economic consequences of those events, which will include a session on Regulatory Capture and why it’s a Really Bad Thing.

We will be presenting on-site at NUMC, and remotely via Zoom at https://bit.ly/3OVHqcf.  Meeting ID: 844 4788 4529; Passcode: 781910
