Agenda

Welcome
Navigating Bias: From Hiring to Digital Identity	In our increasingly digital world, biases can have a profound impact on our everyday lives, influencing everything from the job opportunities we receive to how we perceive ourselves in the online realm. This thought-provoking talk, “Navigating Bias: From Hiring to Digital Identity,” delves into the pervasive nature of bias and its implications.
Bridging the Gap: Crafting Native Experiences w Web APis	Together we'll explore the power of the web platform, its APIs, and how to use them to create standout web experiences. We'll dig deep into the magic they bring to web experiences, like building a music player, using a Bluetooth controller to play a game and more! No matter your experience level, join us for a practical and lively demo on the untapped potential of the web platform and discover how you can make your next web project not just functional but genuinely captivating.
AI and Climate Change: Bridging the Past and Future	In a world where machine learning has led to big advancements in areas like finance, marketing, and AI models such as ChatGPT, let's delve into another exciting application of AI. In this presentation, we'll explore how AI is helping us understand and deal with climate change. This talk focuses on the important connection between artificial intelligence (AI) and climate change. We'll look at how AI is essential for making sense of the environmental changes that have shaped our world and for planning a better, more sustainable future. Think of it like this: just as people change their clothes to adapt to changing weather, species have adapted to shifts in their environment over time. We'll use AI to help us better understand how different species have coped with these changes in the past. AI is like a powerful tool that helps us analyze large amounts of genetic data efficiently. It's like using a magnifying glass to find hidden patterns in a complex puzzle. This hidden information gives us valuable clues about how species might respond to climate changes in the future. We'll ask a big question: How will different species adapt if the temperature keeps rising, whether it's by 1.5°C, 2°C, or more? As we combine AI and climate change, we'll use this knowledge to protect our planet's biodiversity, navigate through a world that's always changing, and ensure that our ecosystems stay strong and healthy.
Exploring Embeddings	Embeddings capture the essence of words and phrases, providing a context-rich search method. This talk will explore embeddings' mechanics and their advantages over keyword searches in product scenarios.
Closing	Join us while we end DevFest Fresno 2023 with a bang with raffles and prizes!
