#34 AI Series: HuggingFace - G. Channing
We are excited to feature **Georgia Channing**, who is currently leading the AI for Science team at **Hugging Face** and will discuss "**When Silicon Meets Carbon: Bringing Synthetic Biology to Life**", lasting approximately 45 minutes. After the talk, seize the opportunity to connect with fellow AI enthusiasts to share ideas and questions while enjoying free drinks and pizza. **Door close by 7.15pm, so please come early! Also, "attend"ing (RSVP) here on Meetup is strictly necessary to be guaranteed entry.**
Please note that Meetup has recently been quite keen on promoting its Plus program. However, you are not obligated to purchase it, as both our events and the platform remain free.
**Who is this event for?**
This event is open to everyone interested in state-of-the-art AI research. We especially design it for students, PhD candidates, academic researchers, and industry professionals with a research focus in machine learning.
**Abstract**: Foundation models have transformed how we read and design biological systems, from protein structure prediction to the generation of novel sequences. But building these models is as much an engineering problem as a scientific one. This talk looks at what it takes to bring AI for biology from research into practice, and at the challenges that make science a uniquely demanding domain for machine learning. We will cover how foundation models for biology are trained and deployed at scale, why scientific data is so different from the text and images that drive mainstream AI, and where the gap between a benchmark result and a real biological discovery still lies. The aim is to show how modern AI connects to living systems, and what we need to get right for synthetic biology to fully benefit from it.
**Bio**: Georgia Channing is the AI for Science Lead at Hugging Face, working at the intersection of machine learning and the natural sciences. She read for her Master’s and PhD in computer science at the University of Oxford, with a focus on applying AI to scientific discovery. Her work has spanned a wide range of AI-for-science areas, including remote sensing, biophysics, and materials design. She now focuses on building open tools, models, and communities that make scientific research more accessible, collaborative, and reproducible.
We are [BLISS](https://bliss.berlin/) e.V., the **AI** **organization** in Berlin that **connects like-minded individuals** who share great interest and passion for the field of machine learning. This summer 2026, we will, again, host an exciting speaker series on site in Berlin, featuring excellent researchers from cohere, ETH Zürich, University of Oxford, HuggingFace, and Stanford University.

Meetup #13 — Money + taxes
The state deals with a lot of money. People and organisations need to declare, file, and pay taxes or receive returns if they overpaid the state. Tax contributions amount to billions of euros, funding public goods such as infrastructure, education, social welfare, and defence.
In the 13th edition of our meetup series, we take a closer look at research and design in public finance and taxation, exploring diverse perspectives from 3 speakers. The evening aims to spark a discussion about the government’s or the state’s role, and how it can be accommodating to citizens, residents, and business owners.
We will hear from:
* Manuel Großmann (Taxfix)
* Merici Vinton (formerly US Digital Service)
* Sonja Wilczek (DigitalService des Bundes)
The federal government’s DigitalService is hosting the meetup on the mezzanine floor of its Kreuzberg office.
All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised in either English or German.
The event is jointly organised and hosted by CityLAB Berlin and DigitalService.

Agent Gateway Deep Dive with Christian Posta
From APIs to Agents: Control, Identity, and What Breaks Along the Way
Most of what we've built over the last \~15–20 years assumes a static frame of reference: Apps talk to services over APIs. You know who's calling what, you can stick a gateway in front of it, apply some policy, and move on.
Agents don't really fit that model.
They don't just call an API and return. They decide what to do, call a tool, look at the result, call something else, maybe involve another agent, loop through an LLM a few times… all the while, doing onbehalf of the user, with permissions that aren't always obvious.
It's not always clear who is actually doing something.
It's not obvious what the full execution path looks like.
And the access control models we're used to — user → service, service → service fall part.
We'll dig into what actually breaks when you start wiring agents into real systems, especially around identity and access control. Things like:
\- how \(or if\) you assign identity to an agent
\- what it means for an agent to act "on behalf of" someone
\- how you enforce policy when the flow isn't predefined
\- and how you get any kind of visibility into what just happened
We'll also look at some of the patterns starting to emerge: agents talking to other agents, tools being invoked dynamically, and why a mediation layer (ie, agentgateway) must be built from the ground up with this in mind.
\-\-\-\-\-\- Speaker \-\-\-\-\-\-
Christian Posta (Solo.io)
Christian is a globally recognized expert in cloud-native architecture, service mesh, and distributed systems. As Global Field CTO at Solo.io, he works with enterprises to design and implement next-generation platforms—and is now at the forefront of AI-native infrastructure and agent systems.
\-\-\-\-\-\- Who should attend? \-\-\-\-\-\-
This meetup is for people who are building or thinking about the next generation of enterprise systems:
Platform engineers and architects, Cloud-native practitioners, AI engineers working with agents and LLMs, Anyone exploring how AI changes system design
\-\-\-\-\-\- How to join \-\-\-\-\-\-\-
This time, the meetup will be in the premises of Riverty in Kantstrasse 17, Berlin (4th Floor of Living Berlin mall). Riverty will provide pizza and drinks. Please bring your ID as you will need to sign an NDA (we are a regulated entity).

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
