I’ll be giving two presentations at the OpenSim Community Conference tomorrow.
First, I will give my usual lecture on hypergrid at 3:30 PM Pacific Time. I’ll be putting together some of the year’s top news and OpenSim statistics.
Then, at 4 PM PT, we’ll talk about how generative AI will transform content creation and coding.
I’ve been covering AI quite a bit lately, especially for CIO magazine. You can see all of my latest AI articles here. As part of that, I spoke with CEOs, CIOs, and other senior executives from companies around the world, as well as leading experts in AI and the vendors building the technology. It doesn’t matter that I have a math degree and can read research papers. My undergraduate research, supported by NSF, was on a dynamical systems approach to differential equations. If you want more AI and want to see me in the real world, I’ll be a keynote speaker at the 2024 Data and AI Summit in March.
