SUMMARY:How Close/Far Are We from “Her” - Movie + AI Panel
DESCRIPTION:The 2013 movie “Her” is a wonderful science fiction movie about AI having evolved to the point of general intelligence\, even sentience. There are no robotics in this AI movie—it is all about the powerful but human-like AI capabilities of his “OS.” “Her” is inspiring and thought-provoking but represents a realistically still far away or possibly unattainable. And yet\, on November 30\, 2022—just 9 years after “Her”—ChatGPT emerged and suddenly everyone was talking about how it mimics conversation\, can be trained on more data than any human could ever learn\, etc. (Read our short interview with ChatGPT and you’ll see.) Coupled with AI technologies for turning text to voice and vice versa\, one could imagine a verbal form of ChatGPT—and being to wonder if “Her” is much closer than we thought! \nJoin us for a showing of “Her” followed by a Q&A session with AI experts\, including natural language processing (NLP). They will answer your questions and will share their perspectives on the state and future of NLP and the possibility of artificial general intelligence (AGI) and sentience. The movie is still thought-provoking\, and our panel will help us understand where we are with AI\, where AI is headed\, and how we might(?) get to “Her” capabilities.

SUMMARY:Ready Player One screening + Metaverse Q&A with special guests​
DESCRIPTION:The metaverse concept has been articulated and predicted in books starting with Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash\,” and as CGI has advanced is has been compellingly visualized in movies\, such as “Ready Player One\,” based on the book of the same name by Austin author Ernest Cline. \nAs part of “Metaverse May\,” we will show the movie “Ready Player One” and follow it with Q&A with real metaverse experts at the Violet Crown Cinema in downtown Austin. \nAfterwards\, we will have post-event networking in the Violet Crown lounge area to talk more about the metaverse and what it means for our entertainment\, work\, collaboration\, education\, and more. This event requires purchasing a ticket for attendance to the movie at this link\, but the Austin Forum will treat to a round of drinks in the post-networking.
