On the first Thursday in December, we will discuss artificial intelligence and how technical leaders can navigate the current AI landscape.

The AI field is entering a phase where hype is giving way to more balanced analysis. Together, we will consider how to transform declining interest into an opportunity by focusing on technologies that have proven resilient and understanding their true role in engineering. We will talk about how technical leaders can maintain strategic focus during AI Winter, invest in areas with long-term potential, and use this cooling-off period to rethink their teams, architecture, and priorities. Our goal is to ensure we are ready for the next spring of innovation.
