SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn at the Park: Navigating the Future of AI
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries and redefine the future of business\, entrepreneurs and innovators must stay ahead of the curve. Join Ancestry.com founder Paul Allen at the Park for an insightful event that delves into the rapidly evolving world of AI technologies and their impact on the entrepreneurial landscape. \nThe Park’s September Lunch & Learn will be on Wednesday\, September 25\, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Phase III auditorium\, 2033 Becker Dr. \nThis event is free\, but registration is required as lunch will be provided. Please register below. This event is open to anyone. You do not have to work for a Park company to attend. If you register and can no longer attend\, please let us know. Registration will close on Friday\, September 20. \nAbout Paul\nPaul Allen is a visionary tech entrepreneur and evangelist driven by a desire to help individuals live their best lives. \n\nPaul has founded eight companies. He calls himself a “platform entrepreneur” since his products are usually built on top of the latest tech platform or wave\, such as CD-ROM\, the World Wide Web\, mp3 audio\, or Facebook. For the past several years\, Paul’s focus has been using machine learning and artificial intelligence to help individuals and organizations reach their full potential. \nIn 1990\, Paul founded Infobases\, whose mission was to digitize and publish the world’s most important books on CD ROM with a full-text search engine. This endeavor led directly to Ancestry.com—Paul’s best-known company—which sought to gather and publish the world’s genealogy records\, family trees\, and memories on the internet to enable everyone to discover their heritage. Over 100 million people have learned about their family history at Ancestry.com. \nPaul’s most recent creation is Soar.com\, a company whose mission—once again—is to uplift humanity. Paul is a strong advocate for using AI in positive ways\, specifically to enable individuals to become the best version of themselves. When excellent training is paired with AI-generated feedback on actual performance\, leaders\, managers\, founders\, and individual contributors can achieve excellence faster than ever before. \nSoar is an AI Studio that will form more than fifteen separate corporations to bring PURE AI (Personalized Uplifting Responsible Ethical AI) to many fields\, including education\, faith\, government\, health\, finance\, medicine\, law\, family history\, and the workplace. Eventually\, Soar will enable people to build and customize their own AI assistant (think of Jarvis from Iron Man or Janet from The Good Place) to help them learn\, grow\, make better decisions\, and maximize their time on Earth. \n
