Beautiful day, friends! I have some news and updates from the field of education and AI.

Beautiful day, friends! I have some news and updates from the field of education and AI.

You can look forward to Future Port Youth – an international futuristic festival about the latest breakthrough technologies and ideas. Bionic Tilly will be performing there – a beautiful British influencer with a bionic arm (who won the sixth series of the competitive show CBBC Got What It Takes). You will also hear from Mike Pell, a visionary and director of Microsoft Garage – NYC. Or look forward to Gary Lai, the chief architect of Blue Origin. Not only does Gary design rockets for Bezos, but he has also experienced them himself as an astronaut. The main attraction of the event will be the lecture "AI for Anyone," which I am creating specifically for this occasion! 😊 Mark your calendars for 10th November 2022, from 8:00 to 14:00. https://futureportyouth.com/program-1

I have been teaching about myself in schools for the third year now – for example, at the top-notch four-year IT Gymnasium. Recently, I had two lectures there. The first-year students asked fantastic curious questions with both technical and philosophical depth (equally from students and teachers). Among the third-year students, I recognised hackers, young entrepreneurs, and IT experts. Headmistress Markéta Fibigerová (who has a pull-up bar in her office – I love that) and humanities teacher Radka Čapková, among others, are doing a great job here. https://www.itgymnazium.cz/

I am pleased with how we are advancing and piloting DigiHavel. Firstly, DigiHavel is significantly smarter now, and secondly, its deployment in practice is approaching. I visited the pilot at ZŠ Táborská (which is just a stone's throw from the Alpha Industries headquarters). The school and, above all, the level of some students exceeded my expectations. One particularly curious student managed to uncover two errors in the third lesson during the first hour, which even my skilled testing team had missed. The curiosity, imagination, and creativity of some students here are remarkable. Together with the DigiHavel team, we are preparing a nice video from this event for you. Special thanks for all of this goes primarily to Alena Resl.

At Jan Kepler Gymnasium, the Students' Symposium - Bridges will take place. Its aim is to allow students, as well as interested members of the public, to connect with prominent figures from the Czech academic, social, cultural, and artistic scene through lectures that explore the common theme of "Bridges" from various perspectives, on the occasion of Student Day (17th November). The three-day programme is complemented by workshops, concerts, film screenings, and theatre performances. On Thursday from 14:00 to 16:00, I will give a lecture on the connection between artificial and natural intelligence and how to build bridges between biological and digital humans.

And the figurative cherry on the cake. A warm balm for my ego. After years of hard work and sacrifice, I finally have a Wikipedia entry! Thank you for this honour. https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Tyl
