W4: Artificial Intelligence – Machine Learning Workshop

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies are growing rapidly, with some projections predicting that the global AI/ML market will grow by over 500% in the next five years. Ready or not, AI/ML will significantly impact technical, business and education activities for AWS, the welding industry and the entire world. The future of AI and ML presents both immense opportunities and significant challenges that require careful consideration and proactive solutions. Key issues include data privacy and security, ethical considerations, algorithmic bias and fairness, job displacement and workforce adaptation, and the need for robust governance and regulation. Speakers will address the key issues of Ai/ML relevant to technical, business and educational activities starting with the basics. Attendees of all backgrounds and education levels will benefit from the workshop. Members of the AWS BOD, AWS Staff, AWS Committee Chairs and Vice-Chairs, and AWS Section Leaders are welcome to participate.
