Who is this for?
We’re not “AI Enthusiasts”, we are AI Tinkerers. The core essence of AI Tinkerers lies in active collaboration surrounding early-stage discovery and innovation, which requires a high degree of experimentation, vulnerability, openness to sharing challenges and learnings, and collaboration among individuals with a shared level of expertise. This unique environment allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI and LLMs while maintaining a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
NYC AI Users - AI Talks, Demo & Social: Future of AI Data and AI Video Games
Time: Jul.10 19:30-22:30 EDT
In Person: RSVP
Featuring Speaker:
Shafik Quoraishee: Games Engineer at The New York Times
Lee Gaul, Founder of Long Horizon AI
First Talk: Shafik Quoraishee will discuss the evolution of AI in video games. He'll cover topics like pathfinding algorithms (e.g., A*), decision-making systems (FSMs, behavior trees), and procedural content generation. Shafik will also explore the role of generalized world models and large language models in enhancing game environments and NPC interactions, illustrated with case studies from popular games.
Second Talk: Lee Gaul will address the critical need for fresh data to train large language models (LLMs) and the looming data scarcity. He'll explore innovative methods labs are using to overcome this challenge and discuss the future of AI training data. Lee's talk will draw on his extensive experience in AI and his unique philosophical perspective.
After the talks, there will be social time with the attendees and the speakers for the remainder of the evening, with free drinks and food

Artificial intelligence (AI) and neural networks have long drawn on neuroscience for inspiration. However, in spite of tremendous recent advances in AI, natural intelligence is still far more adept at interacting with the real world in real-time, adapting to changes, and doing so under significant physical and energetic constraints. The goal of this meeting is to bring together researchers at the intersection of AI and neuroscience, and to identify insights from neuroscience that can help catalyze the development of next-generation artificial systems.
Abstracts are welcomed on all scientific topics related to how principles and insights from neuroscience can lead to better artificial intelligence. Topics of interest include but are not limited to network architectures, computing with spiking networks, learning algorithms, active perception, inductive bias, meta-learning, and online learning. Please note that abstracts should be ONE page (~2900 characters).
