What do AI—the powerful, transformative technology that is changing almost every aspect of how we live, work, learn, and play—and whiskey have to do with each other? Well, for starters, both must be used responsibly and safely, and both are beloved by this discussion events’ moderators: Austin Forum Executive Director, Jay Boisseau, and CognitiveScale CTO, Matt Sanchez. Join us in person at Trifecta on 3rd (corner of Nueces and 3rd St.) to talk about both AI and whiskey, with a few whiskeys provided for tasting (but not required—Topo Chico also provided!) as well as lots of discussion about the realities, perceptions, risks, and potential of AI over the next few years. No AI expertise needed (but welcomed!), but seating is limited so RSVP ASAP!
