SUMMARY:OPEN SOURCE FOUNDERS SUMMIT 2024
DESCRIPTION:Open source companies face challenges and opportunities that proprietary software companies never encounter. General startup programs\, investors and your own employees often won’t understand how to navigate these challenges or take advantage of the opportunities unless they have open source experience. The open source founders summit gives founders a place to learn from each other and support each other in building open source companies. \nEvent Details: \n— It’s invite-only\, in the hopes that OSFS2024 can really create an environment that allows people to be vulnerable and honest\n— It’s focused on a broad view of open source companies\, including DevTools and non-devtools\, venture-backed and bootstrapped companies\n— It’s interactive by design — there’s talks in the mornings and interactive break-out workshops in the afternoons

SUMMARY:NextGenAI
DESCRIPTION:NextGenAI\nIntelligent Banking\,\nIntelligent Future\n26 November 2024 | St Paul’s\, London\nEvent summary \nNextGen: AI – https://www.nextgenai.world/ \nDate: Tuesday 26 November \nLocation : Convene Sancroft St Paul’s (Rose Street off Paternoster Sq.) \nAgenda: https://www.nextgenai.world/agenda \nAmanda Brock\, CEO OpenUK\, will be talking at a panel. \n12.00-12.30 – Where next with AI? \nThe rise of ChatGPT as a mass consumption natural language model in 2023 marked the era of GenAI democratisation. While most financial services players remain bullish on the future of GenAI\, the numerous use cases may change their mind. GenAI analyses customer behaviour\, discovers preferences\, and has the power to unlock important insights\, leading to more personalised user experiences and improved customer service. We are already witnessing a shift from traditional chatbots to sophisticated ones that are highly trained in semantics and can provide knowledgeable responses. The technology is capable of not only generating immediate\, precise\, and natural-sounding answers\, but it can also analyse a customer’s financial history and credit rating and help them source and choose the best loan option for their unique situation. AI assistants can also help staff to more quickly access key information for clients\, and more intelligent robotic process automation (RPA) allows a level of usability with AI enhancements that will make it more valuable to enhance workflows and automate decisions. In addition to this\, advances in natural language processing (NLP) combined with other traditional AI that can spot trends and anomalies unlocks a more complete picture.
