Featured Session

  • Speaker: Michael Novack, AI Safety & Cybersecurity Architect at Cranium AI (LinkedIn Profile)
  • Talk Title: Mind Games: Understanding AI Through Play

Inside the Mind of AI: Learning How Intelligent Systems Think Through Play

AI is moving fast. Yet inside many organizations, there’s a surprising challenge: teams struggle to talk about it. Engineers understand the models, executives see the potential, and product teams see new opportunities. However, the language of AI - neural networks, machine learning, large language models - often creates confusion rather than alignment.

This interactive workshop introduces a new way to bridge that gap. Using FuzzNet Labs, a collaborative board game designed to explain how neural networks and modern AI systems function, participants will explore the fundamentals of machine learning through play. The game transforms complex ideas - like training data, model behavior, and decision pathways - into tangible, interactive experiences that anyone can understand.

Instead of slides or lectures, participants learn by building, experimenting, and discussing AI concepts together. The result is a shared mental model of how AI works beneath the surface.

Why attend? Understanding AI isn’t about memorizing technical terms - it’s about seeing how the system thinks. When teams can map the pathways, connections, and decision-making processes that power modern AI, conversations become clearer, collaboration improves, and organizations can move forward with confidence.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have a practical and approachable framework for discussing AI across technical and non-technical teams.
