AI April at the Austin Forum: A Month of Exploration and Learning
Join the Austin Forum for AI April, a month to deepen your understanding of AI and its impact on society. We kicked things off with “The Next Wave of Generative AI”. Google’s Andy Gates delved into the latest advancements in generative AI, including the rise of AI agents and the potential impact of these technologies. We followed that up with a collaborative meetup, “Best LLM & GenAI Pro Tips, Tricks & Hacks”, where AI enthusiasts shared best practices and tips on the latest AI tools.
But there's a lot more to come! We have a packed schedule of events the rest of the month, all designed to increase your AI understanding and deepen your skills:
