Open Tech Calendar

Come join us in Sheffield for an evening of Artificial Intelligence talks. Maybe you are a software developer, product manager, designer, entrepreneur, or just have a passing interest in how AI is being used to build the next generation of software tools, then this is definitely the event for you. In January we have two talks:

How UX can make AI better for everyone - Adam Males

UX designers play a critical role in responsible AI by ensuring that AI systems are designed and used in a way that is fair, impartial, and beneficial to all users.
Identifying and addressing potential biases in AI systems.
Providing users with transparency and control over AI systems.
Designing AI systems that are accessible and inclusive.


Lessons in Experimentation and Challenging AI Maximalism - Charlie Linacre

Over the past nine months, I've dived deep into AI, exploring prompt writing, rapid iteration, and the crucial role of flexible setups. I've also ventured into semantic search and encountered a shift in AI thinking – the emergence of Anti-AI maximalism. Join me to hear about my AI journey over the last 9 months, how we're approaching AI at Pendo, and discover these key takeaways and more:
Experiment with Prompts: Learn the importance of prompt experimentation and the need for a setup that allows quick changes for real-time feedback.
Semantic Search: Explore how semantic search can enhance AI workflows.
Challenge AI Maximalism: Understand why relying solely on a Language Model often falls short and why customers seek additional context.
