GPTechday

Grant Kurz and team have been consistently organizing in person and virtual events for two years. That's not an easy task --- especially in such a fast moving space as AI. Great to see this new GPTechday partnership with OpenAI.

Today, we launched an exciting new resource: an online hub for OpenAI Academy. As AI adoption grows, so does the need for accessible, practical, and inclusive AI education. The OpenAI Academy is one way we’re helping more people become AI-ready—whether that means confidently using ChatGPT to study, teach, build a business, or prepare for the workforce. OpenAI Academy includes: ??? A library of on content ranging from AI fundamentals to advanced use cases, designed to help learners explore, experiment, and upskill. ?? Workshops & events, both online and in-person, that bring learners together to explore how AI can support learning, teaching, career readiness, and innovation. ?? Community partnerships with organizations like Miami Dade College and GPTechday, Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) from AARP, CareerVillage.org, Goodwill Keystone Area, Common Sense Media, and Fund for the City of New York.

??? GPTuesdays Event Summary: AI Startup Day ?? ?? Michael Mannino, MA, PhD: "AI and Improving Team Performance" Michael Mannino, Co-CEO of Syneurgy | AI and former Director of the AI Center at Miami Dade College, delivered a groundbreaking session on the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and team dynamics. With his PhD in neuroscience and experience that includes work at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Mannino explored how Syneurgy's technology enhances team performance by optimizing neurobiological, physiological, and behavioral synchrony. The session highlighted how AI and advanced data analytics are transforming traditional team management, identifying patterns in team behavior, and providing AI-driven insights for improved collaboration. Mannino's multidisciplinary expertise in human performance science and applied neuroscience offered attendees a unique perspective on responsible AI implementation and human-AI collaboration. ?? ?? Adam Elkassas & Irina Dubovik: "pre.dev: A Layer of Abstraction Above AI Coding Agents" Adam Elkassas, Founder of pre.dev and former Innovation Engineer at Intel Corporation, alongside Irina Dubovik, CRO of pre.dev, presented their revolutionary approach to autonomous code generation. They positioned pre.dev as a "Google Maps" for coding agents like Cursor, Codium, Lovable, Bolt, v0, and Devin, providing clear directions and time estimates for development. ??? Unlike conventional AI coding agents that rely on brute force methods, pre.dev's distinctive approach models all requirements and dependencies before generating code, optimizing token consumption and development resources. The presentation showcased how this energy-efficient solution adapts as product roadmaps evolve with changing business requirements. ? ?? Burhan Sebin: "How AI is Shaping Digital Twin and Immersive Technologies" Burhan Sebin, VP of Growth at Atlas Space and Founder of Miami AI Hub, explored the transformative intersection of AI and Digital Twin technology. His presentation demonstrated how AI-driven digital twins are revolutionizing urban planning, smart cities, and industrial operations through real-time monitoring and predictive analytics. ??? Drawing from his seven years of experience in technology and innovation, Sebin also delved into how immersive technologies like VR and AR are creating interactive environments for businesses, education, and entertainment. As a Board Advisor at AI 2030, his insights connected the practical applications of these technologies with their broader impact on humanity. ?? This trio of innovative speakers exemplifies GPTuesdays' mission to accelerate AI education and innovation through community. As Miami's premier AI gathering, the event continues to bring together brilliant minds at the AI Center in Miami Dade College's Wolfson Campus, offering attendees direct access to industry leaders and cutting-edge AI applications. ?
