SUMMARY:AI Policy and Governance Overview | Virtual
DESCRIPTION:​A free\, public workshop—no technical background needed\n​AI is moving fast. The companies building it are moving fast. Governments are trying to respond\, but most people still don’t have a clear picture of what is actually happening or what good policy would even look like.\n​This workshop is meant to give people that bigger picture. \n​We’ll start with a quick\, plain-English overview of what AI is as a technology\, how today’s systems work at a high level\, and why the last few years have felt so different from the AI progress that came before. From there\, we’ll look at the new industry forming around frontier AI: the major labs\, the incentives they face\, the race to build more capable models\, and why that race has raised serious questions about safety and governance. \n​Then we’ll move into AI safety: what people mean by it\, why it matters\, and why this is not just a technical issue for researchers in labs. AI already creates real problems today\, from scams and misinformation to bias\, privacy concerns\, cyber risks\, and labor disruption. More advanced models could raise the stakes further\, especially if they become better at persuasion\, hacking\, autonomous planning\, scientific research\, or acting on behalf of users in the real world. \n​Together\, we’ll explore questions like: \n\n​What is AI\, really? What makes today’s systems different from older software\, and why are people treating this moment as a major technological shift?\n​What is AI safety? What are researchers\, policymakers\, and companies worried about\, and which concerns are immediate versus more forward-looking?\n​Current risks: How is AI already affecting scams\, misinformation\, privacy\, labor\, education\, and trust?\n​Near-future risks: What could change if models become significantly more capable over the next year or two?\n​AI legislation: What kinds of laws and regulations have been passed so far\, what are they trying to do\, and how has the debate around them gone?\n​Governance options: What policy tools are being discussed to handle more serious risks from advanced AI systems?\n\n​What you’ll get: \n\n​A beginner-friendly overview of AI as a technology and industry\n​A clear explanation of what AI safety means and why people disagree about it\n​A grounded look at the risks AI poses today and the risks more advanced systems may pose soon\n​A concrete overview of existing AI policy efforts and the debate around them\n​A map of the main governance ideas being discussed\, from transparency and evaluations to liability\, licensing\, compute governance\, and international coordination\n\n​This workshop is not about taking a simplistic “AI good” or “AI bad” position. The real world is messier than that.\n​AI could bring enormous benefits\, and it could also create serious problems if we build and deploy it carelessly. The goal of this workshop is to help you understand the policy conversation well enough to follow what is happening\, evaluate proposals for yourself\, and think clearly about what responsible governance might look like before the technology gets even more powerful.

SUMMARY:#SalesFriends 🤝 AI Circle | Sponsored by Ven
DESCRIPTION:​Sales meetup in San Diego!! 🤩 \n​​​​​📍 Location: 550 West B Street 4th Floor\, San Diego\, CA\, 92101\n📆 Date: Thursday\, May 28th\, 2026\n🕔 Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM \n\n​Where AI Meets GTM: Sales\, Engineering\, and the Blurring Lines Between Them \n​Engineers are getting closer to the customer. Sellers are getting closer to the product. And AI is accelerating the collision. \n​Join us at Downtown Works Little Italy for a panel discussion on the cross-pollination happening between AI/tech and sales\, and what it means for the people working in both. We’ll dig into how job families are evolving\, what salespeople should know about how modern AI products actually get built\, what engineers should understand about GTM and customer development\, and where the real opportunities are for people who can operate across both worlds. \n​Whether you’re an AE curious about what’s under the hood\, an engineer wondering how deals actually get done\, or a founder/operator trying to build a team that bridges both\, this one’s for you. \n​Format: 1-hour panel + audience Q&A\, followed by open networking When: 5/28\, 5:00–7:00 PM \n​Where: Downtown Works\, Little Italy (San Diego) \n​Refreshments: Pizza\, beer\, and sparkling water on us \n​Come for the panel\, stay for the conversations. \n\n​​​About #SalesFriends: \n​​​​San Diego sales community. Giving customer facing roles a shared space to meet in person and grow together. Most of us work in tech but we welcome other industries as well. \n​​​​VPs of Sales\, AEs\, SDRs\, CSMs\, SEs and any other client facing acronym. An opportunity to share best practices and help each other get ahead in our careers. We don’t like to exclude anyone… but no real estate agents allowed! We’re here to network not get pitched to buy a house. \n\n​About San Diego AI Circle: \n​A curated group of highly technical builders working at the edge of deep learning and agentic systems. We meet in person to share what we’re building\, trade notes on the latest advancements\, and learn from / collaborate with other serious practitioners. \n​As AI tooling accelerates\, small teams can increasingly outpace large organizations by shipping focused\, niche products quickly. Meanwhile\, much of San Diego’s best technical talent is distributed across large companies\, labs\, and teams—so finding the right collaborators can be difficult. \n​This Circle exists to solve that: a central hub for builders to learn from each other\, get high-quality feedback\, and meet potential collaborators and cofounders. \n\n​​Our Partners: \n​​Ven – https://ven.live/ \n​Ven helps you discover people\, groups\, and events aligned with your goals — so reaching out feels natural\, not cold. \n​​​​Downtown Works – https://www.downtownworks.com/locations/san-diego/ \n​​​​​Premier co-working spaces for visionaries and innovators.

SUMMARY:SD ISSA InfoSec Networking Dinner Discussion (May)
DESCRIPTION:Topic: \n​How much Pen Testing is Enough? \n​​Overview:\nAt our upcoming Tabletop Exercise Dinner\, Paul Petefish will challenge one of the most deeply held assumptions in enterprise security: That Annual Pen Tests are Enough. \n​The reality? Traditional penetration testing was built for a world that no longer exists — one where infrastructure changed slowly and threat actors operated at human speed. Today’s cloud-native\, continuously evolving environments demand something far more dynamic. \n​In this session\, Paul Petefish will introduce the Continuous Penetration Testing Methodology (CPTM) — a structured framework that transforms offensive security from a point-in-time event into an always-on function. \n​You’ll walk away understanding: \n​✅ Why annual pen tests are failing to reflect real organizational risk \n​✅ How CPTM maps to — and exceeds — NIST\, PTES\, OWASP\, and MITRE ATT&CK \n​✅ What it takes to run continuous offensive security at scale \n​✅ How to shift executive risk conversations from pass/fail to measurable\, ongoing reduction \n​This one is for security leaders and practitioners who are ready to move beyond checkbox compliance and toward a future where your testing never stops. \n​​Hosted by: Paul Petefish\, Co-Founder\, Evolve Security \n​Paul is an offensive cybersecurity leader\, entrepreneur\, and researcher with over 20 years of experience. A former penetration tester\, he is the co-founder of Evolve Security\, where he has spent the past decade building next-generation offensive security solutions. \n​He is the creator of the Continuous Penetration Testing Methodology (CPTM)\, a framework that modernizes traditional testing into an always-on security control aligned with today’s cloud-native environments\, building on standards such as NIST SP 800-115\, PTES\, OWASP\, and MITRE ATT&CK and designed to integrate across modern security channels and tooling. \n​Paul is also a patent holder\, published vulnerability researcher\, guest lecturer at the University of Chicago\, and a recognized cyber expert for ABC and CBS Chicago\, advancing how organizations measure and manage cyber risk. \n​​KPMG First Floor Training Room\n4655 Executive Dr\, San Diego\, CA 92121 \n​​Dinner will be provided \n​​Note: Free street parking available – no validation \n​​Thank You to Today’s Sponsor! \n​​ISSA Membership & Inquiries \n​​Join SD ISSA and start attending our meetings & events for FREE! Please Join Today! \n​​If you have a job opening to highlight\, please contact us at recording@sdissa.org \n​​To inquire about sponsorship opportunities\, please contact us at sponsorship@sdissa.org

SUMMARY:AI Happy Hour May - LLMWiki & Persistent Memory
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the AI Happy Hour\, where we discuss the latest developments\, applications\, and research in generative AI\, focusing on large language models. \nWhether working on technical projects or exploring AI from a business or product perspective\, this is the perfect space to share ideas\, find collaborators\, and bring your vision to life. \nOptional topic: LLMWiki & Persistent Memory \nThe LLMWiki concept involves an AI that acts as an interconnected intelligence layer over your entire digital life\, where every note\, thought\, or snippet of data you input is instantly linked\, synthesized\, and restructured by the model into a persistent\, living graph of your brain. Are you using or interested in persistent memory techniques like LLMWiki? What works best for your use case?

SUMMARY:Digital Pixel Art - DPA: Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly meeting on May 28\, 2026 at 7:00pm \nThe boundaries of visual art are changing.\nPhotography\, digital painting\, compositing\, 3D rendering\, and AI-generated imagery are no longer separate conversations — they are converging into something new. \nBe a part of the gathering at Digital Pixel Art (DPA) and join our expanded conversation. \nIf you create with pixels — whether through a camera\, stylus\, software\, rendering engine\, or artificial intelligence — you belong here. \nThis meeting also marks the evolution of our former DPX-AI group into a broader\, more inclusive community. Rather than separating AI from other digital methods\, DPA brings everything together under one creative umbrella.\nBecause today\, the tool matters less than the vision. \n*** \n## What to Expect \n• Member sharing (send me 3-5 image files if you’d like to share: email lavogelart@gmail.com)\n• Continued discussion of how we want this community to grow\n• Exploration of what “digital art” means moving forward \nThis is not about defending old definitions.\nIt’s about exploring new possibilities. \nLet’s step beyond the camera and explore the future of digital art together. \nSee you online. \n— Larry Vogel \nWe will be using the GoToMeeting online service for our meetings.
