SUMMARY:41st Annual Forecast Dinner
DESCRIPTION:23 January 2019 | 4:30PM – 9:00PM \nShaw Conference Centre | 9797 Jasper Avenue \nTickets: $140.00 | Table of ten: $1\,400.00 \nREGISTRATION \nTickets on sale until Friday\, January 11\, 2019. \nCancellation Policy: \nRefunds will be issued for cancellations received by December 31\, 2018. \nNo refunds will be issued for no-shows. \nKeynote Speaker \n“Humans make noisy predictions” says world-leading Artificial Intelligence researcher and economist AJAY AGRAWAL. Author of the game-changing book Prediction Machines and founder of U of T’s Creative Destruction Lab-which boasts the greatest concentration of A.I. start-ups of any program on the planet-Agrawal’s talks illuminate the incoming realities of A.I: how machine prediction\, stripped of all that noisy (and expensive) human thought\, is on the verge of presenting us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the way we do business\, “drive” cars\, run governments\, and provide healthcare. \nNamed the engineer of a “Billion Dollar Breakout” by The Globe and Mail-Dr. Agrawal comes at A.I.’s potential from the perspective of economics. Advances in A.I. and machine learning mean profound opportunities for innovation and investment. As founder of U of T’s Creative Destruction Lab (the “Silicon Valley of the North”)\, Agrawal unpacks the full potential of A.I. and machine prediction\, without spin or jargon. Report on Business Magazine has also named Agrawal to its “Power 50” list of the most influential Canadians to watch\, calling him “a key contributor to Toronto’s emergence as a world-class technology ecosystem.” His first book\, Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence is a must-read\, sweeping guide-and practical toolkit-for anyone seeking to leverage the disruptive\, transformative power of A.I. in the coming decades. It’s already been cited several times in The Economist and is on Bloomberg and Politico’s best summer reads lists\, among others. \nProfessor Agrawal and his co-authors also describe the “Simple Economics of Machine Intelligence” in the Harvard Business Review online\, and were co-organizers of the research session on the Economics of Artificial Intelligence at the American Economics Association annual conference in Chicago. Agrawal is also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge\, MA. \nAs co-founder of NextAI\, a not-for-profit\, Agrawal helps young entrepreneurs and technologists explore new commercial opportunities that are a direct result of advances in A.I. He is also a co-founder of “Machine Learning and the Market for Intelligence\,” an annual conference on the business of artificial intelligence. In addition\, he is a co-founder of Kindred\, a company that seeks to build machines with human-like intelligence. \nAgrawal was awarded Professor of the Year by MBA classes at the Rotman School seven times\, the Martin-Lang Award for Excellence in Teaching\, and most recently the Distinguished Scholarly Contribution Award in 2017\, among several other honours.

SUMMARY:41st Annual Forecast Dinner
DESCRIPTION:23 January 2019 | 4:30PM – 9:00PM \nShaw Conference Centre | 9797 Jasper Avenue \nTickets: $140.00 | Table of ten: $1\,400.00 \nREGISTRATION \nTickets on sale until Friday\, January 11\, 2019. \nCancellation Policy: \nRefunds will be issued for cancellations received by December 31\, 2018. \nNo refunds will be issued for no-shows. \nKeynote Speaker \n“Humans make noisy predictions” says world-leading Artificial Intelligence researcher and economist AJAY AGRAWAL. Author of the game-changing book Prediction Machines and founder of U of T’s Creative Destruction Lab-which boasts the greatest concentration of A.I. start-ups of any program on the planet-Agrawal’s talks illuminate the incoming realities of A.I: how machine prediction\, stripped of all that noisy (and expensive) human thought\, is on the verge of presenting us with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the way we do business\, “drive” cars\, run governments\, and provide healthcare. \nNamed the engineer of a “Billion Dollar Breakout” by The Globe and Mail-Dr. Agrawal comes at A.I.’s potential from the perspective of economics. Advances in A.I. and machine learning mean profound opportunities for innovation and investment. As founder of U of T’s Creative Destruction Lab (the “Silicon Valley of the North”)\, Agrawal unpacks the full potential of A.I. and machine prediction\, without spin or jargon. Report on Business Magazine has also named Agrawal to its “Power 50” list of the most influential Canadians to watch\, calling him “a key contributor to Toronto’s emergence as a world-class technology ecosystem.” His first book\, Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence is a must-read\, sweeping guide-and practical toolkit-for anyone seeking to leverage the disruptive\, transformative power of A.I. in the coming decades. It’s already been cited several times in The Economist and is on Bloomberg and Politico’s best summer reads lists\, among others. \nProfessor Agrawal and his co-authors also describe the “Simple Economics of Machine Intelligence” in the Harvard Business Review online\, and were co-organizers of the research session on the Economics of Artificial Intelligence at the American Economics Association annual conference in Chicago. Agrawal is also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge\, MA. \nAs co-founder of NextAI\, a not-for-profit\, Agrawal helps young entrepreneurs and technologists explore new commercial opportunities that are a direct result of advances in A.I. He is also a co-founder of “Machine Learning and the Market for Intelligence\,” an annual conference on the business of artificial intelligence. In addition\, he is a co-founder of Kindred\, a company that seeks to build machines with human-like intelligence. \nAgrawal was awarded Professor of the Year by MBA classes at the Rotman School seven times\, the Martin-Lang Award for Excellence in Teaching\, and most recently the Distinguished Scholarly Contribution Award in 2017\, among several other honours. He conducts research on the economics of artificial intelligence\, science policy\, entrepreneurial finance\, and the geography of innovation. He serves on the editorial boards of multiple management and economics journals\, and holds a Ph.D. in Strategy and Economics and an M.Eng./MBA from the University of British Columbia. He served as a Visiting Scholar at MIT\, London Business School\, and Harvard University\, as well as a Visiting Professor at Stanford. \nHOST \nCalled a “Canadian Master” by Just For Laughs\, DAVE HEMSTAD has skyrocketed to the top of the national comedy scene\, appearing regularly across the country and on a hit show on CBC.

With this deluge of information comes hopes and aspirations\, fears and misconceptions – some justified and others not.How can we make sense of it all? Join Amii as we pull back the curtain on AI and lay a pragmatic foundation for what AI is\, what it isn’t\, and how you can begin to think about the place of AI in your business.

SUMMARY:Open Hardware Christmas Social
DESCRIPTION:Christmas Social at State & Main Kitchen & Bar!This year we’ll be meeting at the State & Main restaurant in the South West corner of Southgate Mall. There is an LRT station there\, so it should be easy to get to even if you are coming from downtown. Come out for great conversation and social interaction around open hardware technology in Edmonton.Meet at 6:30pm at 5015 111 St NW #850\, Edmonton\, AB T6H 4M6.Please RSVP a couple of days ahead of the date\, so that we can make a reservation.Cheers!What is Open Hardware?The Open Hardware Meetup is a place where all kinds of people can share an interest in the intersection of hardware\, software\, connectivity\, and user experience. When combined\, these elements create a new art which blends the lines of beauty and technology.Even as computing devices have become more powerful\, the underlying technology is now more and more available for everyone. With a few mouse clicks\, overnight shipping\, and a few hours work\, you can build your own versions of ground-breaking products based on simple open platforms like Arduino\, Raspberry Pi\, Beaglebone\, Galileo\, Edison\, and more. Even better\, you can create something that has not physically existed. It is the flexibility and power of computing\, expressed in physical\, tangible form.Who is it for?Everyone is welcome\, from casual observers to nascent hobbyists to advanced techs. Presentations will range from beginner how tos\, to highlighting cool projects from Edmonton and Alberta. There is almost always food before and drinks after. We’re always open to new speakers and topics as requested by our members.Examples of things we’ve done-learn to solder\,-basics of arduino\,-automated basketball robots from a local high school team-projected surfaces and their use in theatre set design\,-magnetic computer displays for the visually impairedExamples of things we want to do-lighting\, home automation\, wearables\, drones/navigation\, 3D printing\, arduino\, raspberry Pi\, beaglebone and other open hardware platforms.-workshops\,-build days\, similar to hackathon\, where a group of people with varying skills create and finish projects-specialty sub-clusters where people can specialize in wearables\, lighting and home automation\, maker technology\, and dronesWe welcome you to Open Hardware Meetup and together we’ll create wow.
