Aerospace Showcase & Happy Hour

Join us for a discussion about building a long-lasting career in today's fast-changing world of AI. Another certificate won't save your career. Proof will. Host Soo-Jin Lee talks with William Zhu, AI thought leader and data scientist, about his book Proof Over Promise. He'll share what actually keeps people employable in the AI age. Bring your questions. This is a conversation, not a lecture. Featured speaker: William Zhu\, Applied AI Builder \| UChicago Soo-Jin Lee\, Gen AI Conversation Designer \| Prompt Engineer \| LLM\, NLU\, NLP \| Human in the Loop \| Former Teacher \| Playwright Location: AWS Skills Center, 1550-G Crystal Dr, Arlington, VA 22202 Drinks and Networking After: Tacombi, 1550 Crystal Dr, Arlington, VA 22202 Description: Join us at AI Innovators Network for our upcoming meetup in the Mosaic, which is dedicated to exploring the latest trends in Artificial Intelligence. Whether you're an AI enthusiast, a professional, or someone curious about the intersection of technology and AI, this event is perfect for networking, learning, and sharing insights. Connect with like-minded individuals from DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland as we dive deep into the opportunities and challenges of integrating AI. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation driving innovation and progress in Artificial Intelligence.

AI governance has become a matter of international diplomacy. In the past few weeks, the UN Security Council held a high-level briefing on AI risk where leaders from major AI companies called for global regulation. Separately, a group of about 20 countries proposed an international oversight body to manage the dangers of AI. Join us for a globe-trotting discussion on where AI policy is heading around the world. We'll see how the EU, the U.S., China, the UK and other countries are regulating AI, and how multilateral efforts like the Hiroshima AI Process fit alongside new UN proposals. We'll also look at the main tensions of global regulation: innovation v. safety, national competitiveness v. global cooperation, and voluntary commitments v. rules that can be enforced. You'll leave understanding how the global rules are forming, what the gaps are and what it means for organizations working across borders. Featured speaker: E.

AI coding agents can produce changes faster than teams can review them. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how to keep that speed while making confident decisions about quality and risk. We’ll use CodeRabbit’s agentic change management framework—validate, prioritize, explain, and secure—to examine what needs to happen between a generated change and a decision to ship. A proposed hands-on format: walk through a sample AI-generated pull request, have the group decide what they would approve or challenge, and then compare their findings with CodeRabbit’s review. We’ll discuss which issues matter most, what still needs human judgment, and how to apply the same approach in participants’ own workflows. Featured speaker: Jeff Woodall\, Helping Engineering Leaders Ship Trustworthy Code Faster \| AI Code Review\, Security & Agentic Change Management Location: AWS Skills Center, 1550-G Crystal Dr, Arlington, VA 22202 Drinks and Networking After: Tacombi, 1550 Crystal Dr, Arlington, VA 22202 About CodeRabbit: CodeRabbit helps software teams ship faster without lowering the bar for quality. As people and AI coding agents produce more code, teams need a reliable way to understand and review those changes. CodeRabbit’s approach is Agentic Change Management, which brings together four capabilities: validating proposed changes, prioritizing reviews by value and risk, explaining what changed, and identifying security vulnerabilities before and after merge. Our goal is a shared, independent layer of review that helps the whole team make informed decisions about what ships, whether the code was written by a person or an AI agent.
