When 36 M DKK Disappears — Lessons in Uncertainty AI
✨We’re excited to invite you to a new Barrel AI 🐒🐒 event — this one is shaping up to be one of our most epic yet ✨
We’ll be given a presentation and speach by an eminent AI expert and ambassador, **Dr. Michael Green**, alongside our recurring **AI Release Radar**, where we highlight the latest AI/ML releases and news.
As always, there will be great opportunities for networking — plus pizza and drinks. This event will also be hosted at our new home for future events: **Fyrtornet / Drivbänken**, right in the heart of Hyllie, Malmö.
**📅AGENDA**
17:30 – 17:45 Arrival & initial networking
17:45 – 18:00 Welcome by Barrel AI organizers
18:00 – 18:20 AI Release Radar
18:20 – 19:00 Dr. Michael Green – Talk & Q&A
19:00 – 19:30 Pizza & networking
**🚀 THE WARM-UP: AI RELEASE RADAR**
Before the demo, we will kick things off with our AI Release Radar and scan the latest happenings in the AI community — LLM drops, AI/ML white papers, and the news that actually matters to AI Engineers & Developers.
**🎓 SPEAKER INTRODUCTION**
Dr. Michael Green builds AI systems designed to make decisions under uncertainty, using Bayesian machine learning and probabilistic AI—because real-world environments rarely provide perfect information. Models that fail to account for uncertainty often become fragile when deployed in complex settings.
He is the founder of two Copenhagen-based AI companies applying these principles where decision-making truly matters: *Alviss AI* and *AI Alpha Lab.*
Alviss AI is a marketing science platform that helps organizations optimize advertising, media investments, and growth through a combination of probabilistic modeling and modern machine learning.
AI Alpha Lab is a research-driven initiative focused on financial markets and systematic investing, leveraging probabilistic AI and quantitative methods. Their AI-driven fund, trading on Nasdaq, has achieved performance surpassing many index funds.
Michael is also a strong advocate for digital and AI sovereignty, with a focus on strengthening EU-driven AI ecosystems—a topic he will also touch upon.
🗣️**TALK DESCRIPTION**
At the upcoming Barrel AI event, Michael will take a deep dive into the technical architecture behind his systems, exploring how uncertainty-first and physics-inspired neural networks are applied in high-stakes environments.
Financial markets are unforgiving—there are no second chances, no re-runs with a different random seed. In his talk he will tell the story of building the model that now runs AI Alpha Lab’s fund, and the hard lessons learned along the way.
It starts, as these things often do, with 36 million going up in smoke 🔥💸.

AI, Defense, and Society in the EU and Beyond
The CPH AI Hub warmly invites you to join our upcoming workshop on AI in defense and security.
On Thursday, 28 May 2026, from 18:00–20:00, we will gather in Copenhagen to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming modern defense, security, and society. The discussion will cover both the technological applications of AI in military settings and the wider societal, ethical, and governance challenges that accompany these developments.
Topics of Discussion
• The EU and the broader political landscape
• Applications of AI in military and defense contexts
• Societal and ethical implications of military AI
• Opportunities for collaboration with CPH AI Hub
This is not intended to be a formal conference with set speakers, but rather an open-ended and informal discussion among people in Copenhagen who share an interest in these topics. Together, we will exchange perspectives, discuss current developments in AI and governance, examine the evolving political context within the EU, and explore opportunities for meaningful collaboration that can positively impact our communities, workplaces, and society more broadly.
If you would like to make a presentation during the workshop, feel free to reach out beforehand.

From Thinking to Doing
You’ve thought about it. Reflected on it. Maybe even talked about it…
But how do you actually *move forward*?
In this practical, hands-on workshop, we focus on one thing:
👉 turning ideas into small, concrete actions
You’ll:
• Choose a direction that feels interesting (not perfect)
• Turn it into a simple, real-world experiment
• Plan when and how you’ll take your next step
No big life decisions. No pressure.
Just a clear, doable action you can take right away.
🧭 This is the 3rd session of a 6-part series—but you’re welcome to join even if it’s your first time.
Progress starts small.
Copenhagen Singles Relational Lab — Facilitated Connection Experience
# Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events?
This is different.
Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk.
This is not speed dating.
Not networking.
Not “pitch yourself to strangers.”
It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it.
## What happens
• A 2-hour guided online relational experience
• Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction
• A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present
• Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward
• WhatsApp connection thread after the session
## This may be for you if:
• You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces
• You want deeper connection without forced intimacy
• You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work
• You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way
## Important
This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time.
Sometimes expansive.
Sometimes intimate.
Both are the real thing.
Booking happens through our website.
👉 Reserve your spot:
[https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)
Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city
Most people come alone.
People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real.
Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease.
Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry.
Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

Authentic You Me Slow Friending | Meet new people | No Small Talk [30+yo]
**Tired of small talk? Come meet new people meaningfully - the Authentic You Me way!**
**\*\*\*Looking to grow your social circle? Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.\*\*\***
No business cards or job titles.
No small talk.
No pressure to perform.
No intimidating crowds.
\-\-\-
If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place.
**Welcome to Authentic You Me**
We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases.
Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance.
While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong.
**Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.*

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

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.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
###
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.
