Whether you've attended every event or are joining us for the first time, we'd love to hear your ideas, answer your questions and gather feedback as we plan the council's future. Over the past year (well, 6 months really, as we’re a new Council), the AI Alumni Council has hosted industry leaders, highlighted real-world AI applications, showcased innovative student projects and created opportunities for lifelong learning across the UC San Diego community. This meeting is your opportunity to help shape what comes next.
