AI and Society Brisbane: April Event

🤖 AI & Society – April Meetup

Theme: Milestones that Forged the Future – Word2Vec

Join us for our April edition of AI & Society as we dive into the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence — and how it’s reshaping the way we live, work, and connect.

This month, we explore a breakthrough moment in AI history: Word2Vec – The Semantic Rosetta Stone — a model that helped machines begin to truly “understand” language.

Whether you're deeply embedded in the tech world or just curious about how AI affects society, this event is designed to be interactive, insightful, and social.

If you’re keen to speak at this or a future session, just let me know — we love spotlighting new voices!
