🚨The AI Coffee House FAQs🚨
1. What is The GSG AI Coffee House?
The AI Coffee House gathers like-minded individuals with an interest and curiosity in applying artificial intelligence tools and constructs to think about big future ideas and current events, as well as the morals and ethics that are changing amongst us.
The idea is to reason things through and have debates and discussions about where things are going, all to satisfy our own curiosities and inform our practices as we go into the world.
It's a professional organization with professional communication, civilized discourse, and we aim to create artifacts that can be shared with others based on these conversations. Of course, we use the tools we discuss. We always share things like ideas, research, books, news, experiences, and good wishes.
It's a positive organization that leans towards critical hope and optimism in the face of grave dangers.
