*Hybrid event but in-person attendance encouraged - opportunity to meet and greet the experts from Dispatch Tech which is a company that specializes in network security, IT services, and compliance with a long list of standards. Cybersecurity Today is a rapidly evolving field that encompasses the technologies, practices, and processes designed to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. With the increasing reliance on digital systems across industries, cybersecurity has become a critical concern for organizations and individuals alike. We will be addressing some key trends and issues in cybersecurity today. The Rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence) is one of the most transformative trends in technology today, impacting a wide range of industries and aspects of daily life. AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and language translation. We will review how AI is shaping the present and future, its benefits and pitfalls.

This event will be available live at SEMI, as well as over Zoom. Get to SEMI by 6:30pm to network – and enjoy great pizza and refreshments! All attendees MUST register using the Eventbrite form (see link). Organizations that develop or operate applications using deep learning, large language models (LLMs), and generative AI are accountable for the security, safety, privacy, fairness, and transparency of their operation. AI applications require governance, and organizations must manage both the associated risks as well as their compliance with a growing number of laws and regulations. It’s critical to understand that each aspect of responsible AI involves various tools and processes at each of the stages of their development and operation. In this presentation, (https://californiaconsultants.org/members/ron-herardian/) will review the pillars of responsible AI. He will describe important technical requirements and tools, including example open source projects and vendor services, along with solutions from select software startups. The intent of this talk is to help attendees gain a better understanding of the technical implementation aspects of responsible AI.
