We give you a full **explanation of the KPI Framework.** > ​Do You **Measure** the Most Valuable KPIs? Red/Amber/Green Thresholds for Each of Your Levels Explained. ## ​Situation ​You burn $$$ on AI tokens. You run hackatons. Git repo full of AI pilots. ​You're spending more on AI than last year. ​Yet, you can't shake the feeling that you're paying faster than you're shipping. > ​📣 We give you the manual to pick the top KPIs that demonstrate the value, based on the context of how far you are in AI adoption. ​3 CTOs share where they actually are on the AI adoption ladder, what worked, what they'd undo, and what comes next. ​✅ The 3 KPIs you should actually be tracking at each level. And the ones to stop tracking. ​The 5 levels of AI adoption, mapped from engineering orgs. ​**1️⃣ L1: Nothing in production.** How to leave it without burning two quarters on pilots. ​**2️⃣ L2: Talent:** upskilling, reskilling and firing. ​**3️⃣ L3: Proof:** When the cost curve overtakes the delivery curve, and how to calculate AI efficiency proof? ​**4️⃣ L4: Going AI-native:** What concretely changes when AI moves from IDEs into production. ​**5️⃣ L5: You've won** the AI race. Where's the new edge in 2027? ​Bring your situation. By the end you'll know which level you're on, what is your KPI, what your next move is, and what to stop doing this quarter. ​No hype, no AI gospel. Two practitioners, real experience, with answers. *** ​20-minute lightning talks + Q&A followed by legendary networking! ***  ## ​What makes our meetups different: * ​**Action-oriented:** Every talk includes takeaway guides/frameworks you can photograph or access via QR code * ​**Case study focused:** Real implementations, real results, real failures * ​**Interactive:** Audience Q&A with people who've actually done this * ​**Practical:** Skip the vendor pitches—hear from practitioners *** > ​Perfect for engineering leaders tired of AI marketing fluff who want practical insights.

**Please note that this event is not for free and we have limited spots! Save yours by signing up [here](https://locusworkspace.com/events/2026/06/17/happiness-hacks-vs-evidence/)!** **🧠What You'll Learn** “How can I be happier?” is a question we all ask ourselves at different points in life. Many “hacks” have been proposed to answer it: – Think positively – Practice gratitude – Meditate – Exercise more – Socialise more – Help others – Reduce screen time – Stop comparing yourself to others – Act happy But how strong is the evidence behind these recommendations? And do they work equally well for everyone? In this workshop, we will critically explore the psychological science of well-being and learn how to design simple personal experiments to discover what genuinely helps you. **🎤About the Speaker** **Ángel V. Jiménez** is passionate about intentional living, scientific psychology, and the evolutionary study of human behaviour. He holds a PhD in Evolutionary Social Psychology from the University of Exeter, where he studied status acquisition and interpersonal influence, with a particular focus on prestige and social learning. He has also conducted postdoctoral research at Brunel University London and the University of Exeter. He currently works as a freelance psychology lecturer at the University of Essex Online and writes about personal development and intentional living at [www.incomparable.info](http://www.incomparable.info/). **📆Format & Schedule** 17:15 – Doors open 17:30-19:00 – Talk by Ángel V.

What is a better way to start our learning journey together than by understanding what AI actually is? [You are welcome to join ](https://www.meetup.com/ai-learning-community-for-women-in-czechia-fem-ai-lab/events/314515448/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events)[whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/I7NWogBfHRRCayjHRjrodb?mode=gi_t) to stay in touch. 💜 We hear about AI everywhere, in the news, at work, from our kids, on social media. Yet most of us would struggle to explain what it actually is. And that's completely normal, nobody properly explained it! So let's fix that. 😄 **Is face recognition AI? Is a driverless metro train AI? Can you guess?** 🤔 Come ready to reason, debate and maybe be surprised by your own answers. In this session we'll dive into: 🧠 **What AI actually is** — and what it isn't **How AI learns** — and how math based algorithms can adapt to an ever changing world 🔍 **How to spot AI in your everyday life** 🌍 **The kinds of AI that exist** 📖 **The history of AI** — how we got here and why right now is different from anything before ⚡ **What makes this the Age of AI** By the end of this session you will feel more confident talking about AI, what it is, how it works and why everyone is so excited and nervous about it at the same time. No tech background needed. Just curiosity and an open mind. 🌸 See you there!

AKCE JEN PRO ZVANÉ 🤖 Ahoj, v rámci setkávání Research Tuesday jsme naplánovaly Friday special. Cítíme už nějakou dobu, že naše researchová komunita má potřebu sdílet, co nového nám do práce přinesla umělá inteligence, jak nám mění výzkum pod rukama. Chceme si povídat, chceme si navzájem sdílet, chceme vytvořit mapu, kam si zaneseme, v jakých fázích výzkumu a jakým způsobem používáme AI a co nám funguje dobře a co až tolik ne. Pracovat a sdílet se bude převážně v menších skupinkách a výstup se na konci odprezentuje ostatním. Mapu pak pravděpodobně dáme k dispozici komunitě. Pátek 19. června 9 - 12 do Slevomatu v pražském Karlíně. Setkání se koná pouze offline, a kapacita je omezená na 30 pozvaných. Žádná velká příprava netřeba, jen teď dávej víc pozor, kdy a jak v rámci výzkumného workflow používáš AI a jak ti to funguje, ať se o to můžeš podělit s ostatními. **🕒 Agenda:** * **08:30 AM** – Otevření dveří & ranní networking * **9:00 AM** Workshop * **12:00 PM** – Závěr & možný společný oběd **🧸 Hlídání dětí na vyžádání:** Research Tuesday stavíme na tom, že profesní rozvoj má být přístupný všem. Chceme podpořit i rodiče malých dětí, aby mohli zůstat v kontaktu s oborem a potkávat se bez zbytečných překážek. **Máte zájem o hlídání?** Rádi ho na místě zajistíme, ale potřebujeme vědět, jestli o něj bude zájem. Dejte nám vědět v komentářích nejpozději do pondělí 15.6. do 8:00, jestli službu využijete a pro kolik dětí. Podle toho rozhodneme, jestli ji zajistíme. **Rezervace:** Zarezervuj si místo včas. Pokud se ti plány změní, prosíme, uvolni místo ostatním. **Těšíme se na známé tváře i nové účastníky!** Běla, Ivana, Lucie

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection? * And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
