Consult my online meeting venue details.  Parking on campus at the time of our Meetup is generally free (at least in my experience in 36 years of parking there).  If lost on campus (or in the district), then call me at [masked].

We will be meeting to discuss the following schedule.  The topics are familiar with many who have attended past meetups, but this shouldn't inhibit those who find them to be brand new.

For Stanford's class registration/enrollment, go to:

As with any of the AI meetups, any AI topic brought to the table is open for discussion.  This Meetup has a focus, but as it is introductory in nature, then it needn't dominate our time together.

Among the general topics in the past, philosophical questions such as "what is consciousness?" has been popular - so this is not all about programming and robotics.
