Every frontier model runs on minerals. Behind the GPUs, the servers, the cooling systems and the power infrastructure that make up a data centre sit gallium, germanium, rare earths, copper, tungsten and a dozen other inputs whose mining and refining are concentrated in a small number of countries. Countries like China, that have weaponized that dominance, restricting exports of gallium, germanium, graphite and rare earth magnets, and each time targeting a material critical to AI. Demonstrating how a supply chain chokepoint becomes a tool of statecraft. What exactly is AI infrastructure, which minerals does it depend on, and where is control over those minerals heading? In this talk, Noah Chaikin works through the AI value chain from the mine to data centre and applies a foresight lens to what he finds. He argues that mapping critical mineral exposure across that chain is the first step toward securing North American supply, and points to Pax Silica, the US-led initiative to build a trusted AI supply chain among allies, as a live example of governments now trying to do exactly that. Drawing on his work at Kearney Foresight in geopolitical statecraft and his research on Canadian rare earth supply chains, he closes with scenarios for how mining, refining and AI investment could converge over the next decade, and what that could mean for Canada.

Join us Tuesday, September 15th at 5:30 PM for a talk with Josette Melchor, founder and cultural strategist working across art, technology, cities, and responsible AI. As the founder of Gray Area and now Newtemporary — and a board member of the Burning Man Project — Josette has spent her career shaping experiences that connect emerging technologies with civic life, cultural infrastructure, and public imagination. Her work moves fluidly across spatial strategy, immersive media, curation, and systems thinking, always with an eye toward how culture and technology evolve together. In this talk, Josette will explore the idea behind Newtemporary, the notion that everything from culture to place to technology is always in transition. She will share how this perspective informs her work with cities, developers, and cultural organizations, from designing immersive experiences and public spaces to prototyping ethical and creative uses of AI. Drawing on projects that have ranged from large-scale festivals and artist exhibitions to global placemaking programs for Google, she will reflect on how design can respond to impermanence, support community meaning-making, and help shape the cultural infrastructure of the future. This event is free and open to the public. .................... Design Field Notes is a lecture series where we invite the public to the UC Berkeley campus for conversations with designers, makers and artists who are contributing to shaping the future through design. If you require accommodation for a disability for effective communication (ASL interpreting/CART captioning, alternative media formats, etc.) or information about campus mobility access features in order to fully participate in this event, please contact Jacobs Institute staff at jacobsinstitute@berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible and at least 7-10 days in advance of the event.

Hong Kong has moved beyond the question of whether crypto should be regulated. The harder question is how banks, securities firms, exchanges, and stablecoin payment providers make different regulatory regimes and control systems work together. Basel III shapes how banks approach cryptoasset exposure. Securities and virtual asset firms face their own licensing, custody, and market-conduct obligations. Across the chain, compliance teams must detect financial crime using customer records, fiat transactions, wallet activity, and blockchain data that rarely sit in the same system. One panel. Every side of the fiat–crypto boundary. These speakers have sat on every side of the table: regulating financial markets, leading compliance inside banks and securities firms, operating global crypto exchanges, advising law enforcement, and applying those rules to stablecoin payments.

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude! A Claude community meetup open to everyone. Claude Community Australia is excited to host a Claude Community Meetup. Limited Spots. Good people. Local Builders. 17:30 – 18:00 | Doors Open & Networking Kick things off — meet fellow AI-curious minds, and warm up before the main program begins. 18:00 – 18:15 | Opening: Why We're Here A quick intro to set the vibe for Australia's growing Claude community! 18:15 – 18:35 | I'm a designer who can't code, and I'm shipping apps anyway — Alex Sviryda I've spent 10 years as a product designer and never learned how to code. But I've always been around products, working out what to solve and why. What I couldn't do was code and build the thing myself. Now I can, so I'm building Grocero, a grocery price comparison app for Australian supermarkets. There's a frontend for iOS and Android, a backend with scrapers, an API, and a landing page to make the marketing side work. Claude Code wrote all of it while I was orchestrating. I'll walk you through the workflow that got it there. It starts with the early idea in my head and a lot of chats with Claude the sceptic, and it ends with the specific setup I use to make sure nothing gets exposed that shouldn't be. Marketing is in there too, since I'm going after organic traffic instead of paying for ads. Spoiler alert: building turned out to be the easy part. Judgement is the hard part, and I'll show you how I make it work. Staff Product Designer at Propeller, working on geospatial software for construction industry. Outside of work I build and ship real apps with Claude Code, without writing the code myself. Nudget, a job application tracker, is live on the App Store. Grocero, a grocery price comparison app for Australian supermarkets, is what I'm building now. 18:35 – 18:55 | Lightning talk 18:55 – 19:20 | Break — Networking and Pizza Have a slice of pizza, a beverage, and mix and mi

This Builders' Breakfast session is part of the Maria 01 NEXT Startup Festival. Explore the full 2-day program here. Sami Marttinen co-founded a company that most founders only talk about reaching: a centaur, meaning a private company generating over $100 million in annual revenue. Swappie crossed that threshold in 2023 and has held it since, closing 2025 with €234 million in revenue and, for the first time, a full year of EBITDA profitability. Getting there wasn't a straight line. Before Swappie, Sami and his co-founder ran through thirteen different business ideas under one company, pivoting quickly, taking no salary, and funding the process themselves through student loans and savings. The idea that eventually became Swappie came from a personal experience, being scammed while buying a used phone online, and a consumer survey the next day that suggested the market for used electronics could eventually rival the market for used cars. Sami is now building a new company, currently in stealth. This time, the environment is different. Swappie was built in a pre-AI era, with none of the tools founders now take for granted. His new venture is being built with AI shaping the process from the outset. At this Builders' Breakfast, Sami will share the story on what it took to grow Swappie into a centaur, and how building pre-AI compares to building now. If you find this session interesting, we invite you to explore the full Maria 01 NEXT Startup Festival Program.

Most organizations are no longer experimenting with AI - they are trying to scale it. And this is where things start to break. Despite strong models and successful pilots, many AI initiatives fail to deliver real value. Not because the technology doesn’t work, but because success is not well defined, measured and managed in real-world conditions. In this interactive session, participants will step into a simulated AI transformation scenario, making decisions under real constraints such as data limitations, cost pressure, user behavior and governance requirements. Through this exercise, we will uncover why AI systems that “work” in demos often fail in reality and what it actually takes to build systems that are measurable, reliable and worth scaling. +++ This event is part of the Zurich AI Festival, taking place from September 28 to October 3, 2026.

The 2018 SonKeeChung Peace Marathon will take place on October 3, Wednesday, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the brilliant feat of Son Kee-chung, Korea’s first sports hero. Concurrent events will also include trial programs of new sports, including floor curling and shuffle boarding, in addition to sports massages made available for participants.

Include: Accesso a tutte le 4 Conferenze. Quattro veri e propri affondi, dedicati ciascuno a una sostanza specifica. Ayahuasca, Tabacco, DMT e Chetamina. Storia, uso tradizionale, stato della ricerca scientifica contemporanea e impieghi attuali nei diversi contesti: terapeutico, cerimoniale, culturale. Registrazioni audio di tutte le conferenze. La possibilità di riascoltare ogni lezione con calma, prendere appunti con più attenzione, o tornare su un passaggio che merita di essere approfondito ancora, anche molto dopo la fine del festival. Il Knowledge Pass non sostituisce l'esperienza diretta: la prepara, la accompagna, la illumina da un'altra angolazione. Capire la storia e la scienza di una pianta o di una sostanza non sostituisce l'incontro con essa ma lo rende più consapevole, più rispettoso, più ricco di significato. Per chi crede che la conoscenza sia, essa stessa, una forma di trasformazione.

Experience the world's famous Oktoberfest with a fresh perspective! We are not avoiding fun, we want to amplify it. The goal is to connect, celebrate, and showcase that the best part of the Wiesn is not the consumption, but the connections you make. 📅 Date: 3.10.2026 🕙 Time: 10:30 AM 📍 Meeting Point: Bavaria Statue, Theresienhöhe 16, Munich (Exact Spot: https://share.google/UhwYsr7tbGG6PGFqF) 🎟️ Entry: Free to meet up. Everyone pays for their own consumption (we might need to pay the 4€ entrance fee for the Oide Wiesn) By joyfully participating in events like this without alcohol, we help normalize mindful choices and demonstrate that true connection comes from shared experiences, not shared drinks. 🥨 What to Expect 10:30 AM: We'll gather at the iconic Bavaria statue for a meet-and-greet and a fantastic group photo in our traditional outfits (Tracht). Our Plan: The goal is to head to the Oide Wiesn (Old Oktoberfest), a charming, more traditional section of the festival with a relaxed atmosphere. The entry fee is typically €4 and is well worth it for the more manageable crowds. Flexibility is Key: If we spot a great, large-enough space in an outdoor beer garden on our way, we’ll take it! Our priority is finding a place to sit together, talk, and enjoy the morning. The Vibe: Expect relaxed networking, great conversations, and a supportive atmosphere where enjoying an alcohol-free beer is completely normal. 📝 Important Details Finding Us: We will meet directly at the linked spot at the base of the statue. Costs: This is a casual meetup. Please be prepared to pay for your own food, drinks, and the Oide Wiesn entry ticket. Outfits: Wearing Tracht (Dirndl or Lederhosen) is highly encouraged to get into the festive spirit, but it's not required! Good to Know: Yes, every single tent and beer garden on the Wiesn serves excellent alcohol-free beer! Come for the tradition. Stay for the connection.

Wivoo, a Wavestone Company t’invite à la 1ère édition d’Inspi’Her : une soirée exclusive pour 50 femmes qui façonnent le Produit, la Data et l'IA. Nous connaissons les statistiques. Nous avons toutes déjà entendu parler du syndrome de l'imposteur. Pour cette première édition, nous avons décidé d'aller plus loin et d'en finir avec les discours lisses. Parce que les codes du leadership conventionnel ont souvent été pensés par et pour des hommes. Parce qu'à poste égal, les femmes ne bénéficient pas toujours de la même présomption de compétence. Et parce que l'ambition n'est pas qu'une question d'ego, mais aussi un outil puissant d'émancipation, de choix et de liberté. ✨ Le concept Le 8 octobre, on réunit 50 décideuses et futures leaders de la Tech pour une soirée d'échanges sans filtre. Au programme : des talks francs, des tactiques de terrain (les vraies, celles qu'on s'échange en off), un regard lucide sur le décrochage au moment de passer les caps managériaux, et un podcast enregistré sur place pour recueillir vos voix. 🔥 Sur scène Pour nourrir ces discussions et partager la réalité de leurs ascensions, nous aurons le plaisir d'écouter : Angela Naser - Directrice, Women in Tech France Juliette Mattioli - AI Fellow VP, Thales Imène Kabouya - Partner IA, Wavestone Constance Fouquet - Directrice Générale Adjointe, M6+ Nicolas Turquet - RH numérique de l'Etat, DINUM Les panels seront animés par Margaux Héry - Consultante Data & IA Wivoo x Air Liquide et Soumia Chekkal Cheffe de Projet IA Côté podcast, notre Account Manager, Floriane Le Moing, profitera de la première heure pour interviewer plusieurs invitées. 🎯 Pour qui ? Les professionnelles du Produit, de la Data et de l’IA (de la junior à la C-Level), et toute personne souhaitant s’engager avec pragmatisme pour faire bouger les lignes dans la Tech. ⏱️ Déroulé & Infos pratiques L'accueil et le podcast démarrent à 18h30. Les prises de parole commenceront à 19h30 et seront suivies d'un grand cocktail dînatoire à 21h15 p
