DESCRIPTION:AI Portland\n🚨 **[Register on Luma](https://luma.com/s5bgqp
 9p)** 🚨\n\nSix evenings that use the defining technology of our moment 
 to re-examine our relationship to one another. Not AI as a tool to master 
 or a threat to repel\, but a sustained question: *who are we in dialogue w
 ith when we use AI\, and what is it teaching us about ourselves?*\n\nEach 
 evening stands on its own\, and the six together make an argument. There i
 s nothing to catch up on and no background required\, beyond having notice

 invitation to look at AI plainly\, together\, and to notice what it is tea
 ching us about ourselves. Bring whatever you already think. It holds up be
 tter in a room full of people than it does alone.\n\nRead more: [https://w

SUMMARY:Where Agents Actually Pay Off: Four Tests for Finding AI Use Cases
DESCRIPTION:AI Portland\n[🚨 Register on Luma 🚨](https://luma.com/pn9
 z8wb1)\n\nJoin Firsthand's applied AI lead\, Chen Chen\, for a practical s
 ession on finding the agent projects actually worth building in your busin
 ess. Everyone is being told to put AI agents to work. Almost nobody can te
 ll you where to point one\, and that's not a technology problem. You'll le
 arn four tests you can run on your own operation to find where an agent wo
 uld genuinely earn its keep\, and where it wouldn't.\n​Chen will walk th
 rough all four using one real business taken apart end to end\, showing wh
 ere its information quietly dies between teams and systems. You'll see whi
 ch problems agents can finally solve that earlier automation never could\,
  and which are still better left to ordinary software.\n​Bring an operat
 ion that annoys you. Whether you're new to AI or already running agents in
  production\, you'll leave knowing which part of it is worth handing to an
  agent\, which parts aren't\, and where to start.\n\n[🚨 Register on Lum

SUMMARY:AI and Students: What's Actually Happening
DESCRIPTION:AI Portland\n🚨🚨 [RSVP on Luma](https://luma.com/nyu4gk80
 ) ​🚨🚨\nStudents are already using AI. This panel conversation will
  tackle what's actually happening: the different ways students are using i
 t\, what it might be doing to how they think and learn\, and what it means
  when a chatbot becomes a student's go-to when they're stressed or stuck\,
  not just a source of homework help.\n​Three things we'll get into:\n\n*
  ​The range of ways students are actually using AI\, and why one story d
 oesn't fit them all\n* ​Whether AI is changing how students think\, not 
 just what they turn in\n* ​What it means when students reach for AI inst
 ead of a teacher\, tutor\, or someone else\, when they're overwhelmed or n
 eed support\n\n​This is for anyone who teaches\, parents\, or works with
  students\, or just cares about where education is headed.\n​Panelists:\
