Nerd Nite Tokyo #56: The Slides of March

Mar 15, 2024 at 7:30pm ~ Mar 15, 2024 at 12:00am

Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. We’re returning fresh from winter break and entering spring with two new speakers talking about current research!

First, Jan Pack will talk about cancer: how to treat it, how treatments are changing, and how his own research is part of that change. Next, May Kristine Jonson Carlon has been talking to large language models like ChatGPT: she will discuss what she’s learned about the cultural and moral differences between AI and humans, and where AI might be going in the future.

Drinks (both alcoholic and non) will be available. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.
