About this event

A free, public workshop with no technical background needed
​For the last several years, AI systems have advanced at a pace that has stunned the public and even surprised leading experts. These systems are reshaping work, the economy, relationships, and even crime extremely quickly.
​This workshop will explore where AI may be in the next 1-5 years and what that means for daily life for all of us. We’ll tackle urgent and important questions like:

  • ​Jobs: Could AI lead to mass unemployment or will it help create entirely new kinds of work?
  • ​Crime: How might AI supercharge scams, hacking, and even crime?
  • ​Companions: Will people form deep emotional bonds or even romantic relationships with AI companions?
  • ​Society: How do top researchers think these trends will shape our future?

​What you’ll get:

  • ​A fast-paced, beginner-friendly overview of today’s most powerful AI systems
  • ​Live demos that reveal both the breakthroughs and the risk
  • ​Interactive forecasting exercises where you’ll test your predictions about AI’s impact against the broader community
  • ​Come ready to explore a future arriving faster than most people realize. A future that could transform not just how we work, but how we trust, connect, and even love.

This is the first session in a six-part virtual series. Each workshop stands on its own and is free to attend. Future sessions: 6/4 AGI Transition, 6/9 Superintelligent AI, 6/11 Intro to AI Evals, 6/16 Data and Privacy in the Age of AI, 6/18 AI Policy and Governance Overview

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
