Please join us for lunch on May 20th to learn more about Artificial Intelligence. It seems that is all that people are talking about today. Come listen to Katy Rutledge, an engineer at Hewlett Packard, who will help demystify the issues around AI. What exactly is AI? What is generative AI? What are the ethical issues and consequences? How to ensure it is unbiased? It should be a very enlightening talk.
 
Katy Rutledge is a Distinguished Technologist at HP Inc, with 19 years of experience at the company. She excels in transforming data into actionable AI-driven insights, delivering tangible value to customers and advancing business objectives. Specializing in leading multidisciplinary teams, Katy guides AI solutions from concept to production. She is known for her ability to bridge the gap between data scientists and domain experts, fostering innovation and collaboration across global teams.

Also on the agenda will be the installation of next year’s officers.

Donations are encouraged at this meeting for:

  • the Boise State University Campus Food Pantry. Dig deep. We will not be collecting food for the pantry during the summer. Boise State has a large summer school presence so let’s help them stock those shelves. Remember, hungry students do not learn as well as those with full stomachs. As it is, summer school is intense, cramming classes that are usually 18 weeks into a much shorter time frame. Let’s remove the stress of being hungry.
  • used coffee mugs and coffee for Corpus Commons.  Co-VP of Programs, Amy Taivalkoski, recently did a site visit to Corpus Commons (featured at our March branch meeting) and learned they go through lots of coffee. They would welcome donations of coffee and coffee mugs. If you are finding your cupboard filled with an excess of coffee cups, please bring those to our May meeting.
