**Importante**: o [registro (inscrição) no site externo ](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026041613)do evento é obrigatório para a entrada na Oracle! **Idioma do encontro:** Português Bem-vindo ao encontro de IA em São Paulo, em colaboração com a Oracle. Junte-se a nós para palestras técnicas fundamentais e aprofundadas sobre IA, IA generativa, LLMs e machine learning, além de comida, bebida e oportunidades de networking com palestrantes, gestores e outros desenvolvedores. **Tech Talk : Consultoria & AI: como o pensamento crítica afeta decisões estratégicas** **Speaker:** Giovanna Felix **Resumo:** A ascensão da IA está mudando o papel dos times técnicos. Eles não são mais apenas responsáveis por implementar soluções, mas também por guiar os líderes em direção ao melhor caminho. Nesse cenário, como podemos nos destacar? A chave é se tornar um profissional consultivo, com uma visão crítica e analítica, capaz de identificar os casos em que a IA pode realmente fazer a diferença, evitando que os projetos se percam na estatística dos 90% que não chegam à produção. **Tech Talk : Spec Driven Development: Como profissionalizar o Vibe Coding** **Speaker:** Luiz Fonseca **Resumo:** O Spec-Driven Development (SDD) inverve o fluxo tradicional de desenvolvimento Vibe Coding. Em vez de começar codificando e 'descobrindo' os problemas no caminho, nós focamos 100% na especificação. Com o GitHub Spec Kit, você define o comportamento, as regras de negócio e a arquitetura em alto nível, e deixa que a IA cuide da implementação técnica com precisão absoluta. ***Veja no site da comunidade*** Se você tem interesse em palestrar para a nossa comunidade, convidamos você a enviar sugestões de tópicos para análise: [enviar tópicos](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Patrocinadores:** Estamos buscando ativamente patrocinadores para apoiar a comunidade de desenvolvedores de IA.

-Multilingual Open Discussion on the Future of Artificial Intelligence -especially talk about AGI risk -CCSP cafe ### Open Multilingual Discussion on the Future of AI Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly. Many experts believe **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)** — AI that could outperform humans in most intellectual tasks — may emerge within decades, or possibly sooner. This raises important questions: * Could AGI bring major scientific progress and prosperity? * What risks might arise if powerful AI systems are not aligned with human values? * How should society prepare for such transformative technologies? Researchers and organizations such as the Future of Life Institute and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute study these issues under the fields of **AGI risk** and **AI alignment**. Yet these discussions often remain limited to experts. This event aims to **open the conversation to everyone**. *** ## Event Concept **AGI Risk São Paulo** is an informal in-person gathering where people from different backgrounds discuss the future of AI. You do **not** need to be an expert. Participants may include: * Engineers and researchers * Entrepreneurs and students * Artists and philosophers * Curious beginners * Anyone interested in the future of humanity and technology The goal is **dialogue**, not lectures. *** ## Multilingual Discussion To reflect São Paulo’s diversity, discussion may take place in multiple languages: * Portuguese * English * Japanese * Spanish Participants are encouraged to switch languages freely. *** ## Possible Topics * What is AGI and how close are we? * AI safety and alignment * The long-term future of humanity * Governance and regulation of AI * Economic and social impacts of advanced AI No prior knowledge is required — **curiosity is enough**. *** **Location:** São Paulo **Format:** Informal in-person discussion **Languages:** Multilingual **Level:** Beginner friendly If you are curious about the future of AI, **join the conversation.** *** ### Discussão Aberta Multilíngue sobre o Futuro da IA A Inteligência Artificial está avançando rapidamente. Muitos especialistas acreditam que a **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)** — uma IA capaz de superar humanos na maioria das tarefas intelectuais — pode surgir nas próximas décadas, ou até antes. Isso levanta questões importantes: * A AGI poderá trazer grande progresso científico e prosperidade? * Que riscos podem surgir se sistemas de IA muito poderosos não estiverem alinhados com valores humanos? * Como a sociedade deve se preparar para tecnologias tão transformadoras? Pesquisadores e organizações como a Future of Life Institute e a Machine Intelligence Research Institute estudam essas questões nos campos de **AGI risk** e **alinhamento de IA**. No entanto, essas discussões muitas vezes ficam restritas a especialistas. Este evento quer **abrir essa conversa para todos**. *** ## Conceito do Evento **AGI Risk São Paulo** é um encontro presencial e informal para discutir o futuro da IA. **Não é necessário ser especialista.** São bem-vindos: * Engenheiros e pesquisadores * Empreendedores e estudantes * Artistas e filósofos * Iniciantes curiosos * Qualquer pessoa interessada no futuro da humanidade e da tecnologia O objetivo é **diálogo**, não palestras. *** ## Discussão Multilíngue Para refletir a diversidade de São Paulo, a conversa pode acontecer em vários idiomas: * Português * Inglês * Japonês * Espanhol Os participantes podem alternar idiomas livremente. *** ## Possíveis Temas * O que é AGI e quão perto estamos dela? * Segurança e alinhamento da IA * O futuro de longo prazo da humanidade * Governança e regulação da IA * Impactos econômicos e sociais da IA Não é necessário conhecimento prévio — **basta curiosidade**. *** **Local:** São Paulo **Formato:** Encontro presencial informal **Idiomas:** Multilíngue **Nível:** Aberto para iniciantes Se você tem curiosidade sobre o futuro da IA, **venha participar da conversa.** contact Hiro [https://wa.me/5511982562567](https://wa.me/5511982562567) ( [https://AGI-risk.org](https://AGI-risk.org) ) [mtzhiro@gmail.com](maitlto:mtzhiro@gmail.com)

Vamos nos encontrar, conversar e trocar sobre como vivemos a cidade. A ideia é uma conversa aberta, que passa por temas como mobilidade, uso dos espaços urbanos e a conexão entre diferentes disciplinas, do urbanismo à tecnologia. O objetivo é ouvir, trocar e se conectar com pessoas interessadas em cidades mais humanas, mais acessíveis e mais cicláveis. Nosso primeiro encontro acontece em Pinheiros, na zona oeste de São Paulo, uma das regiões com maior presença de infraestrutura cicloviária da cidade. O encontro será no King of the Fork, uma cafeteria conectada à cultura da bicicleta, pensada como um ponto de encontro para quem pedala e vive a cidade. O local fica na Rua Arthur de Azevedo, com ciclovia na porta, bicicletário e a poucos minutos a pé do metrô Fradique Coutinho.

Atualização: Ingressos esgotados! Depois de quase 20 anos fechado, o histórico espaço do Cine Copan reabre suas portas e recebe o público em suas ruínas para uma experiência teatral inédita e inigualável: uma montagem imersiva de “Hamlet”, onde o edifício não é apenas cenário, mas também parte da história Na trama, o príncipe Hamlet, interpretado por Gabriel Leone, investiga a verdade e testa os limites do poder, das paixões humanas e da própria razão, após descobrir as circunstâncias suspeitas que levaram à morte de seu pai Entre os mistérios e os segredos de um dos endereços mais simbólicos do centro de São Paulo, o público vivencia a histórica oportunidade de conhecer um monumental cinema desativado há décadas. E entra no coração de uma tragédia sobre poder, corrupção, memória, culpa e verdade A ocupação de um edifício há tanto tempo fechado dialoga com o reino em ruínas de Shakespeare. O prédio desperta — e com ele, os fantasmas e suas histórias. É o teatro fora do teatro, fazendo da cidade seu cenário, e fazendo do público testemunha de um evento sem precedentes O espetáculo começará às 17h em ponto e não será possível entrar no local após o início **Comprei o assento C21** **Site para compra do ingresso**:[ https://nucinecopan.byinti.com/#/event/x54fN3SeYGXgHqnhsJ](https://nucinecopan.byinti.com/#/event/x54fN3SeYGXgHqnhsJv)v **Instagram** @hamlet.nocopan **Valores dos ingressos** Camarote Hamlet: R$250 (inteira) / R$125 (meia estudante, meia idoso e cliente Nubank Setor A: R$200 (inteira) / R$100 (meia estudante, meia idoso e cliente Nubank Setor B: R$180 (inteira) / R$90 (meia estudante, meia idoso e cliente Nubank Setor C: R$50 (inteira) / R$25 (meia estudante, meia idoso e cliente Nubank **O after será no Copanzinho!** @copanzinhobar *xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx* *É novo no grupo?

***In Person Location:*** Rockville Library, second floor meeting room (Collaboration Room 3). Will recreate our Preamp circuit board inside EasyEDA to make it shareable for others. This ideally will also allow us to finish up design enough to submit for a materials grant program. We are experimenting with a new virtual join link - [https://meet.jit.si/mocomakers](https://meet.jit.si/mocomakers) If you can make it in person, that's always recommended! Let's resume repeated full end-to-end testing cycles and continue to iterate our design and resolution. We are getting close. Our community is building (and documenting for other teams) how to build a scanning tunneling microscope using a mix of common and 3D printed parts. This will allow us to scan and visualize a single atom - an ambitious we are doing over the course of a few months. The MoCo Makers community is one of the most innovative and competent groups in Maryland, and we've done everything from [publishing cancer research](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38136356/), to [launching products](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gotim/cozy-curvy-multi-contour-pillow), [winning grants](https://covidinfocommons.datascience.columbia.edu/awards/2014255), and inspiring thousands. Now our biggest challenge yet has appeared. We are building a Scanning Tunneling Microscope, that will allow us to scan and visualize single atoms. Does it sound hard? Perhaps.. However! I have every confidence that we are now operating at a level were we can take on this mean, cross-functional project. We continue to build on our past successes, and a key technology we previously applied was increasing the signal of small voltages using OpAmps - which we did during our custom pH Probe project - [https://www.mocomakers.com/ph-probe/](https://www.mocomakers.com/ph-probe/) \- That technology is exactly what we need to get this machine working\, and at a high precision\! To get a better idea of what we are doing, see our reference project here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N3OqTEq08g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N3OqTEq08g) All starting CAD, code, and reference files should exist. However, let's be the first Maker community to document the build process and share it with learners around the world. We have a bit over $2,000 in materials costs, so if you want to sponsor this project, and get banners at events with 20K attendees, and access to our email broadcast of 30K members, please contact matt@mocomakers.com We are also open to university, lab, or community partnerships so feel to reach out if you want to be part of this project. Together, we can do incredible things. ***In Person Location:*** Rockville Library, second floor meeting room (Meeting Room 3). To Join Virtually: https://meet.jit.si/mocomakers
