SUMMARY:Austin AI Alliance Monthly Meeting - January
DESCRIPTION:The Austin AI Alliance is an AI consortium dedicated to advancing the capabilities\, usage & impact\, social responsibility\, and inclusiveness of AI technologies and applications by leveraging the unique resources\, talent base\, and culture of creative innovation in Austin. The Austin AI Alliance is welcoming of all companies and organizations and will help to connect professionals from companies (from startups to global technology leaders)\, universities\, government agencies\, professional associations\, non-profits\, and interest groups—and to elevate all of their respective activities as well as creative collaborative opportunities. \nMembers and Public\, all welcome\n\n\n\nNetwork with entrepreneurs\, corporate leaders\, academics\, students\, innovators\, and subject matter experts building AI in Austin and find future collaborations.\n\n\n\nAgenda:\n5:30 – 6:00 PM | Check-in and Networking\n6:00 – 7:00 PM | Innovation Spotlights and Reverse Pitches\n7:00 – 8:00 PM | Projects\, Collaboration\, and Networking \n  \n\nThis month\, we’re hosting an Innovation Spotlight focused on how AI is reshaping entrepreneurship in an era of constant disruption. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDefining & Measuring the Value of AI-Enriched Data: A Case Study \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do you do when your client promised to use AI to deliver “data quality”\, but nobody there had defined the term or its value? \nThis talk by John Morkes\, PhD shows how understanding value is a key driver of success in using AI. Attendees will hear how a Fortune 100 Company’s vague goal for Human Resources data was turned into crisp objectives with relevant metrics\, target outcomes\, stakeholder and team alignment\, measured iterations\, and positive results (including tens of millions of dollars in savings). \nSpecific strategy and research techniques will be discussed\, along with some lessons learned. \nJohn Morkes is a user-centered AI strategist and the founder of Neet UX & Strategy\, a member of the Austin AI Alliance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nCrisis Is the New Normal: Why the Future Belongs to Entrepreneurs in the Age of AI \nAI is not just disrupting industries — it is exposing how individuals\, organizations\, and institutions behave under pressure. As automation accelerates\, trust erodes\, and traditional structures fail to keep pace\, more people will be forced into entrepreneurial behavior whether they planned for it or not. \nIn this Innovation Spotlight\, Kevin Koym draws on over three decades as an entrepreneur and two decades building innovation ecosystems across more than 20 countries to explore what this moment demands. This session reframes entrepreneurship as a survival skill\, not a career path — and unpacks the capabilities required to move quickly\, learn continuously\, and partner across borders in a world where stability is no longer guaranteed. \nYou’ll hear why crisis is a sorting mechanism\, why pioneers — not empire builders — shape the future\, and why care\, trust\, and social capital are becoming strategic infrastructure in high-performing ecosystems. \nThis is not a talk about tools. It’s a call to understand who you become when disruption removes the guardrails — and how to build\, lead\, and collaborate when the future is undecided. \n  \nFrom Gut Feel to Data Real: Reinventing Forecasting with AI \nWhat if your next big cost savings didn’t come from cutting corners—but from predicting them? In this Innovation Spotlight\, Frank Mendoza shares how a promotions industry leader used AI to transform manual\, error-prone sales forecasting into a precision engine of operational efficiency. \nAttendees will discover how leveraging over a decade of historical data\, predictive AI—not generative—achieved sub-5% error rates in monthly forecasts\, unlocking smarter planning\, reduced inventory costs\, and real-time decision-making. This isn’t just a tech demo—it’s a blueprint for how AI can drive real business impact in complex\, SKU-heavy manufacturing environments. \nWhether you’re in supply chain\, finance\, or AI\, this session will challenge how you think about forecasting—and show you what’s possible when AI meets business strategy. \n  \n\nJoin us at The Center for Government and Civic Service\, ACC Rio Grande: Building 3000 1218 West Avenue\, Austin\, TX\, United States\nParking map below. Street parking is free after 6 pm.

SUMMARY:"Python: The Documentary" Screening & Expert Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Join us on January 14th at Violet Crown Cinema for a special screening and Q&A of\, “Python: The Documentary”\n\n\nHow did a “hobby project” created during a Christmas break in 1989 become the most popular programming language on the planet? Today\, Python is the undisputed backbone of the AI revolution\, the primary tool for data science\, and the engine behind everything from Netflix’s recommendation algorithms to the flight software of the Mars Rover. \nJoin the Austin Forum for a special screening of “Python: The Documentary” (2025). This 90-minute film takes us from the quiet research labs of Amsterdam to the high-stakes boardrooms of Silicon Valley. Featuring interviews with creator Guido van Rossum and the community leaders who steered the language through its “Great Python 2 to 3” crisis\, the film captures the human story\, the “Zen” philosophy\, and the inclusive community spirit that turned a simple script into a global phenomenon. \nFollowing the screening\, we will host an interactive Q&A session with a panel of Austin’s top Python experts. Whether you are a veteran “Pythonista” or have never written a line of code\, this discussion will explore: \n\nThe Road to Expertise: Practical\, high-value advice on how to transition from a casual user to a Python expert\, including tips on mastering the ecosystem and contributing to open-source projects.\nThe AI Engine: Why Python became the “language of choice” for TensorFlow\, PyTorch\, and the Generative AI explosion.\nThe Business Impact: How Python enables companies to move from idea to production with unprecedented speed and scale.\nThe Future of the Language: A look at the next decade of Python\, focusing on performance enhancements and the new “mobile and web” frontiers.\n\nThis event is a must for developers\, data scientists\, tech leaders\, and students who want to understand the past\, present\, and future of the language that is quite literally writing our future. \nGather & Networking 6:30Screening 7:10Q&A 8:40

SUMMARY:Why Pundits and Experts Often Get It Wrong: A Discussion on "Future Babble"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online discussion on December 18th!\n\n\nEver wonder why the bold predictions from experts on TV and in the news so often miss the mark? From stock market forecasts to political outcomes\, confident predictions abound\, yet our future remains stubbornly unpredictable. \nJoin the Austin Forum for a fascinating book discussion on “Future Babble: Why Expert Predictions Fail—and Why We Believe Them Anyway” by Dan Gardner. Craig Wheeler\, author of “The Path to Singularity” and a professor emeritus of astronomy\, will help us dive into the psychology behind our desire for certainty and explore Gardner’s compelling argument that the most confident “expert” pundits are often the most likely to be wrong.  \nThis is a conversation about critical thinking in an age of information overload. We’ll discuss: \n\nWhy our brains are wired to trust confident-sounding predictions\, even when they’re baseless.\nHow to distinguish between genuine expertise and confident “hedgehogs” who oversimplify complex issues.\nThe impact of failed predictions on our society\, from financial markets to public policy.\n\nAs we approach the start of a new year\, we’re all going to hear about predictions for 2026—including in our own Austin Forum event in January! After this discussion we will all be more careful about making predictions and knowing how to assess predictions made by others. It should make for some great holiday conversations with family\, too. 😉 \nWhether you’ve read the book cover-to-cover or are just intrigued by the topic\, you’re welcome to join the discussion. Come share your thoughts on how we can all become smarter consumers of information and make better decisions in an uncertain world.  \n \nAttendance Instructions \nThe discussion will be held online via Google Meet. Please register to receive the meet link! \nSpace is limited\, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend—and kindly cancel your registration if your plans change so we can open your spot to another participant.

SUMMARY:Reclaiming Your Focus: A Discussion on "Digital Minimalism"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an online discussion on November 25th!\n\n\nDo you feel more distracted than ever\, despite being constantly connected? Join the Austin Forum for an essential online conversation about Cal Newport’s influential book\, “Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.” We’ll explore Newport’s philosophy of using technology with intention to support your goals\, rather than letting it use you. \nThis timely discussion will be moderated by Hugh Forrest\, the visionary behind SXSW and founder of Gather & Grow. With decades of experience at the intersection of technology and human connection\, Hugh will guide our conversation on practical strategies to: \n\nDeclutter your digital life and curate your tools.\nRediscover the value of solitude and high-quality leisure.\nCultivate deeper\, more meaningful connections\, both online and off.\n\nWhether you’re feeling digital burnout or are simply curious about living a more focused life\, this conversation is for you. Come ready to share your own experiences and learn how to build a healthier relationship with technology. \n \nAttendance Instructions \nThe discussion will be held online via Google Meet. Please register to receive the meet link! \nSpace is limited\, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend—and kindly cancel your registration if your plans change so we can open your spot to another participant.
