Canvas and Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings
*Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings*
**Fee:** AED 30
**Duration:** 2 hours
**Format:** Two paintings, one per hour — deep group discussion follows each
What happens when philosophy meets paint and canvas?
Welcome to **Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings**, a unique gathering where we explore the profound connection between visual art and the human experience. Each session, we’ll sit with two powerful artworks — not to critique them like art historians, but to let them speak to our minds and souls.
You'll be surprised by the range of interpretations one painting can evoke — where one person sees despair, another may find hope; where one sees chaos, another finds divine order. This is a space for meaningful, respectful conversation that opens us up to new perspectives and helps us see more — in the art, and in ourselves.
Whether you're a philosopher at heart, an artist in spirit, or simply curious about how we see and feel, this event offers a space to slow down, look deeply, and think together.
**Come with an open mind, leave with new eyes.**

AI Powered Quality Assurance | 2nd Dubai Meetup
## **AI\-Powered Quality Assurance \| The Test Tribe 2nd Dubai Meetup**
**Generative AI is rapidly transforming how software is built, tested, and delivered—but with this power comes responsibility. As AI systems influence decisions, automate workflows, and accelerate development, quality engineers must understand not just how to use AI, but how to use it responsibly and how to test it effectively.**
**At the 2nd Dubai TTT Meetup, we’ll explore the intersection of Responsible Generative AI and Quality Assurance, along with practical approaches to testing AI systems using AI itself. Through real-world use cases, governance discussions, and modern testing techniques, this meetup will help QA professionals make informed, ethical, and confident decisions in an AI-driven world.**
## **Event Details**
**Date: 7th February 2026**
**Time: 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM GST**
**Venue: in5 Media – Training Room**
## **Sessions & Speakers**
### **Session 1: Responsible Generative AI – Impact, Risk, and the Future of QA**
**Speaker: Priyank Jain**
#### **About the Session**
**This session provides a structured and practical introduction to Responsible Generative AI, with a strong focus on how it applies to Quality Assurance.**
**Priyank will cover:**
* **How responsible generative AI can be applied within QA workflows**
* **The global impact, challenges, risks, and governance considerations surrounding generative AI**
* **The future implications of generative AI on business, workforce, and society**
**Rather than focusing only on tools, this talk emphasizes awareness, governance, and informed decision-making—helping QA leaders and practitioners understand where AI creates opportunity and where it introduces risk.**
#### **Key Takeaways**
* **A clear understanding of Responsible Generative AI and its QA use cases**
* **Insight into ethical, economic, compliance, reputational, and consumer risks**
* **Awareness of governance and risk-management considerations for AI adoption**

* **A broader perspective on how generative AI will shape the future of work and quality**
### **Session 2: Testing AI Systems Using AI**
**Speaker: Apzal Bahin**
#### **About the Session**
**Testing AI systems is fundamentally different from testing traditional software. When expected results are no longer deterministic, how do we validate quality, reliability, and trust?**
**This session focuses on Testing AI Systems Using AI, where AI models themselves act as evaluators. Instead of checking for exact outputs, testers assess dimensions such as correctness, relevance, consistency, bias, and safety.**
**Apzal will explore:**
* **Using AI to detect hallucinations and unstable behavior**
* **Validating prompt behavior and response patterns**
* **Treating prompts as testable contracts, not experiments**
**This talk offers a modern, practical mindset for QA professionals working with LLMs and AI-driven features.**
#### **Key Takeaways**
* **Detect hallucinations, bias, and instability early by using AI to test AI**
* **Learn how to validate AI outputs without fixed expected results**
* **Treat prompts as testable, maintainable contracts**
* **Release AI features with confidence rather than hope**

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Humanist Community Celebrating Darwin Day
Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program:
Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there!
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
