Bring Your AI Questions: Ballarat AI Exchange Returns 27 August

BRAIN’s next Ballarat AI Exchange will be held on Thursday, 27 August at Ballarat Hackerspace, bringing together the local community for an open conversation about artificial intelligence and its practical applications.

Dr Rob Layton, Chief Research Officer at BRAIN, and Adrian Holtham from Plainlight will host an open Q&A covering AI, large language models (LLMs), business applications, emerging tools and the questions participants bring into the room.

The AI Exchange is designed to be conversational rather than presentation-led. Whether you are experimenting with AI already, considering its implications for your organisation, or simply trying to understand where the technology is heading, this is an opportunity to ask questions and explore ideas with others from across the region.
