I’m giving two presentations tomorrow at the OpenSim Community Conference.
First, I’m giving my usual state of the hypergrid talk at 3:30 p.m. Pacific time. I’ll be doing a roundup of this year’s top news and OpenSim statistics.
Then, at 4 p.m. Pacific, I’ll be talking about how generative AI will change content creation and coding.
I have been covering AI quite a bit lately, especially for CIO magazine. You can see all my latest AI articles here. As part of that, I’ve been talking to CEOs, CIOs and other senior executives at companies around the world, as well as leading experts on AI and the vendors building the technology. It doesn’t hurt that I have a degree in mathematics and can read the research papers. My own undergraduate research, funded by the NSF, was about a dynamical systems approach to differential equations. If you want more AI, and want to see me in the physical world, I’ll be the keynote speaker at the 2024 Data and AI Summit in March.
About the conference

This year’s conference kicks off yesterday with networking events and today there will be art tours and music performances. The conference then features two days of dynamic presentations on Saturday and Sunday–including a hypergrid shopping tour and a closing night party on Sunday.
