**Most people learn *about* AI. We learn by building *with* it.** ​There are a thousand newsletters, courses, and YouTube videos explaining what AI is. This bootcamp is not that. This is 2 days of hands-on building — real tools, real APIs, real apps — guided by someone who has done it across consumer and enterprise products. ​By Day 2, you'll have shipped working AI products. Not demos. Not slides. **Things that work.** [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​🎯 Who Should Attend ​You're a great fit if… ​You want to build, not just learn. ​You're a founder, executive, or self-starter. ​You want practical skills, not theory ​You're serious about staying ahead in AI You might not be ready if… You're looking for a passive lecture experience. ​You think watching is the same as doing You're not willing to experiment and fail fast You need heavy technical hand-holding [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​🔨 What You'll Build ​Over 2 days, you'll build and ship: ​**→ A personal brand , a service webapp which accepts payments, a customer feedback system and a custom web app which solves your own problem.** ​Every project is yours to keep and launch. *** ## ​📅 Agenda Overview ​**Day 1 — Saturday, May 2** You hit the ground running. After a quick orientation on the AI landscape and how web apps actually work, you build three real products before the day ends: your personal brand website (live on a custom domain by lunch), a client-facing services page that takes real Stripe payments, and a lead magnet page with an AI-powered CRM that auto-scores leads and writes follow-up emails for you. The day closes with an AI Trend Spotlight and open build time to keep experimenting. ​**Day 2 — Sunday, May 3** You go deeper and finish strong. The morning is spent building a login-protected customer portal where clients can access resources and submit support tickets — no developer needed. After lunch and a second AI Trend Spotlight, you spend the afternoon on your capstone: building the app your own business has actually been waiting for, with dedicated 1-on-1 facilitator support the whole way through. You then build your pitch deck live using Lovable, present your app at the final showcase, and leave with a certificate and five deployed products that are yours to keep. *** ## ​💡 The Philosophy > ​*You cannot think your way into understanding AI. You build your way in.* ​Every breakthrough in your understanding will come from something not working — and then figuring out why. That's the method. That's why 2 days of building teaches more than 3 months of reading. *** ## ​📍 Event Details ​🗓 **Date:** 2nd and 3rd May · Hong Kong 📍 **Venue:** Chinachem plaza, 178-186 Johnston Road, 4/F Chinachem plaza , Wan chai, Hong kong 👥 **Cohort:** Max 20 participants (intentionally small) 💰 **Investment:** HK$2\,500 \- HK $4000 \| Early\-bird pricing available [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​✅ What to Bring * ​Your laptop (Mac or Windows, both fine) * ​A project idea you want to build (optional but encouraged) * ​Openness to experimenting, breaking things, and shipping fast *** ## ​👋 Your Host ​**Altaf** — founder, builder, and educator at the School of Applied AI.

When judging morality, should we prioritize **intentions/duty** or **outcomes/results**? It introduces two influential philosophers as representatives of these approaches. * **Immanuel Kant (deontology):** An action is moral when it is done from **duty** and follows rational, universal principles (the **categorical imperative**). Certain acts—like lying—are wrong regardless of the consequences; you can’t do a wrong thing for a right reason. * **John Stuart Mill (utilitarian consequentialism):** The morality of an action is determined by its **effects**, specifically how much **happiness/well-being** it produces. Mill argues that some pleasures are “higher” than others, and that good intentions don’t redeem harmful outcomes. ## Discussion Questions 1. **The lying dilemma:** A murderer comes to your door and asks if your friend is hiding inside. Kant would say you must not lie. 2. **Can good intentions rescue a bad outcome?** 3. **The organ harvest problem:** A surgeon has five patients dying of organ failure and one healthy patient in for a checkup. Killing the one to harvest organs would save five lives, and the math works out for the utilitarian. Why does this feel so deeply wrong? Is that feeling a point in Kant's favor, or just a bias we should overcome? 4. **Do rules need exceptions?** Kant insists moral rules must be universal, with no exceptions. But most of us can imagine extreme scenarios where any rule seems like it should bend. Does the need for exceptions fatally undermine deontology, or is the strength of the system precisely that it refuses to bend? 5. **Who gets to calculate the consequences?** Utilitarianism asks us to maximize good outcomes, but we're notoriously bad at predicting consequences. If we can't reliably know the results of our actions, is it practical to base our entire moral system on outcomes? Does this uncertainty push us back toward rules and principles? 6. **Everyday morality:** Think about a real moral decision you've made recently, even a small one. Did you reason more like a Kantian (what's the right thing to do in principle?) or more like a utilitarian (what will produce the best result?)? Do most people naturally lean one way? 7. **Justice vs. the greater good:** A town can prevent a deadly plague by sacrificing one innocent person. The greater good is clearly served. But is it just? Can an action be morally right and deeply unjust at the same time? 8. **The big synthesis question:** Are these two systems actually opposed, or do they often arrive at the same answers by different paths? Is it possible that we need both: rules to guide us in the moment and consequences to evaluate systems and policies over time?

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
