Agenda

Wesley Chun, Easy path to machine learning	In today's world of ChatGPT & machine learning, {data scientists & developers are creating insightful tools,insightful tools are being created} like never before. However, not everyone has the requisite skills or background to jump right into building & training GenAI or other ML models in PyTorch or TensorFlow. This overview helps democratize AI/ML for all developers, introducing concepts and the standard workflow. If you're new to this exciting topic, Google Cloud AI/ML "building block" APIs, part of its Vertex AI platform, are some of the best ways to get started. What does it mean for developers? It means that if you can call an API, you can leverage the power of machine learning. This session provides a basic ML primer for those who are new, giving examples of where AI & ML are making an impact today, whether in a Google product or out in the wild. That's followed by an introduction to Google APIs and how to use them, focusing on the GCP AI/ML building block APIs but also including other Google APIs to consider when building your first AI/ML application. Real code will show you how much easier it will be for you to get started on your AI/ML journey
Div Garg, CEO - Multi-On	In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, there's a new force that will transform our lives like never before–MultiOn. A pioneering AI startup aiming to develop AI products and technologies that once only belonged in science fiction, MultiOn is an AI Agent that takes actions and interacts with the digital world to tackle mundane tasks that people would rather delegate to an assistant. MultiOn frees up the human race from the mundane boring but necessary tasks that would take hours or days to accomplish, so we can more fully enjoy and live our lives. MultiOn will book your dream travel itinerary in minutes or reserve a table for six with your best friends at your favorite restaurant and confirm the best date and time for everyone in just minutes. What used to take hours or even not be possible to do, is now handled by MultiOn in a matter of minutes.
Lunch
Fireside chat w/ Peter Norvig, Researcher, Google and Stanford HAI	Seenia Hong sits down with Peter to get his perspective on the rapidly changing space and what is his thoughts about modern approaches to AI.
Fireside chat w/ Rocky Yu, Founder of AGI House	Ed Choudhry sits down with the Founder of AGI house, Rocky Yu, one of the most active communities in AI hosting Hackathons with the top minds in the industry. We will dive into the beginning of it and how it has converged in to one of the hottest spots for AI in Silicon Valley.
Huan Li, Building a Chatbot in 6-lines of Code using Wechaty	Conversational AI has empowered the Chatbot application in recent years, making the Conversational User Interface (CUI) increasingly valuable. WhatsApp & WeChat are two of the largest world IM platforms. What if we could turn our personal accounts into a chatbot? It will be precious for many use cases if we can turn our account into a chatbot as a practical and convenient CUI application to serve users. However, WhatsApp/WeChat does not have an official API published to achieve that, which in turn led the open-source community to develop a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) SDK Wechaty (Apache-2.0 License, 18k+ GitHub stars, 28k+ dependents), to help developers to build a WhatsApp/WeChat chatbot in 6 lines of TypeScript/Python.
