Big Ideas Forum

In this recurring program, anyone who attends tonight has a 6-7 min window to present something that might have caught their attention, something they have wondered about, a book we all should know about, etc. Formal presentations with slides and videos or getting up in front of the forum are not required. The purpose is to share ideas… but mind you: 6-7 min is a lot less time than you think! [Read More]

Nonetheless, text-to-music AI presents exciting possibilities for the future of music, and its development is something worth keeping an eye on. [Read More]

Text-to-image generator AI programs are a type of machine learning technology that can create realistic images from textual descriptions. These programs use complex algorithms and neural networks to analyze and interpret natural language descriptions and generate corresponding images. Text-to-image generators have a wide range of potential applications, from helping artists and designers visualize their ideas to creating realistic simulations for scientific research. [Read More]
