Another thoughtful panel and fully packed house at Instrument for February's @aipdx.bsky.social event.

At the @aipdx.bsky.social Meetup, a panel of experts, including @chrisbrida.bsky.social and Seth Fleischauer, explored how AI is reshaping learning. One provocative idea: Schools of the future may focus more on social and emotional learning than traditional academics.

🚨 New podcast episode! 🚨 In this episode, Nicole and @megannotarte.com: 🔹 Talk about AI overwhelm and wish @emollick.bsky.social was our bestie 🔹 Seek deeply about DeepSeek (of course, who isn't/sorrynotsorry) 🔹 Recap the Silicon Forest Tech Summit Watch now: youtu.be/qViJDD_M1GM

The @aipdx.bsky.social event last thursday was exceptional with outstanding presenters, an engaged crowd, a fantastic venue, and gracious hosts. I totes messed up ground and air dribbles live in front of the audience with polite AI feedback.

Still flying high off the incredible vibes and energy from last night's @aipdx.bsky.social event. 💓 AI's great and all, but nothing beats the inspiration you get from interesting and smart people. Thanks, Portland!

Tomorrow is our first AI Portland event of 2025. Don't miss our lineup of interesting speakers talking about ways they use AI to supercharge their lives. Get there on time – RSVPs are off the charts: www.meetup.com/ai-portland/...

What happened during the first year of @aipdx.bsky.social…? Here's a recap. siliconflorist.com/2024/12/16/a...

Last week, AI Portland, TAO & Rose City Techies joined forces for a holiday celebration! It was the perfect way to close out a year of firsts, surrounded by those who make this community so special. Looking forward to what 2025 brings!

It was a packed house yesterday for @aipdx.bsky.social end of year holiday party at Kiln. They've been great at bringing lots of folks together for thought provoking conversations, demos and more.

Portland's 2024 Digital Rights Day Celebration is a wrap! I had the privilege of participating in a panel with @dawnnafus.bsky.social and Meg Young, PhD. Our discussion was lively and I learned a ton from my fellow panelists. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/live/VJRMsDR...

Next week! Register today and celebrate with us and our friends from TAO and Rose City Techies 🥳 cvent.me/ENEVPV

Last night's Ground Kontrol Happy Hour was a blast! From competitive Street Fighter matches to discussions about AI, the energy was incredible. Thanks to @zapier-ai.bsky.social's generous sponsorship, everyone could focus on what matters most - building connections in Portland's tech community.

This feels overwhelming, but there are actions we can take: mandatory algorithmic impact assessments throughout lifecycle, stronger individual rights re: AI (opt-out) & AI use/harm disclosures. @wyden.senate.gov's Algorithmic Accountability Act is a good start. theconversation.com/ai-harm-is-o...

Let's cap off 2024 with a fun holiday party, in collaboration with TAO and Rose City Techies on 12/12. Registration is required cvent.me/ENEVPV We will be verifying registration and checking IDs at the door. The dress code is casual, but feel free to add a bit of holiday sparkle if you’d like!
