SUMMARY:Build AI Right From the Start: WIN AI™ Workshop
DESCRIPTION:AI is moving fast\, faster than most teams\, organizations\, and leaders can keep up with. Late-stage fixes\, loss of trust\, stalled launches\, and missed opportunities happen when responsible AI is treated as an afterthought. \n​We Have a Powerful Tool in Our Hands\, let’s shape it for human-centered impact. \n​This workshop helps you get Build AI Right From the Start\, before launch day\, when decisions still shape outcomes. The choices you make today will define the AI of Tomorrow. \n​What You’ll Learn \n​In this 3-hour\, hands-on workshop\, you’ll learn how to: \n\n\n​Apply the WIN AI™ Methodology to real-world projects \n\n\n​Embed human-centered thinking directly into AI workflows \n\n\n​Turn responsible AI into better design\, stronger creativity\, and smarter innovation \n\n\n​Leave with practical tools you can immediately apply \n\n\n​About the WIN AI™  \n​The WIN AI™ Methodology is WE ARE IN AI’s proprietary\, human-centered approach to building responsible AI: from problem definition to deployment. \n​ Designed for real-world use in companies\, schools\, and public institutions\, it blends design thinking\, systems thinking\, agile practices\, and gamification into a clear\, repeatable methodology. \n​At the heart of the workshop is the WIN AI™\, a five-stage journey. \n​The methodology helps reframe AI as something you build with people\, not just for them. That’s not just semantic\, it’s a completely different design approach. \n​Designing for people assumes you know what they need\, builds solutions in isolation\, tests only at the end\, and prioritizes efficiency over understanding. \n​Designing with people\, by contrast\, centers real needs from the start\, encourages collaboration throughout the process\, and emphasizes iteration\, feedback\, and continuous learning. \n​Every stage is guided by the SPHERE dimensions: Safety\, Privacy\, Human-Centered\, Explainable\, Responsibility\, and\, Environmental. \n​This approach equips teams to move from understanding challenges to designing\, testing\, and continuously improving AI systems that are practical\, impactful\, and aligned with human needs. \n​Who Should Attend \n​This workshop is for anyone interested in applying responsible AI to real projects: \n\n\n​Designers (UX\, product\, service) \n\n\n​Developers & engineers \n\n\n​Product managers and innovation leads \n\n\n​Leaders managing AI initiatives in organizations \n\n\n​Educators teaching or guiding AI projects \n\n\n​Entrepreneurs building AI-powered solutions \n\n\n​Anyone responsible for shaping or building AI-powered work \n\n\n​No advanced technical background required\, just curiosity\, responsibility\, and a desire to create AI that drives real impact\, builds trust\, and makes a difference for people and organizations. \n​Special thanks to Kiln Rancho Bernardo for supporting us in hosting this event. Kiln is a workspace experience designed to elevate performance and lifestyle\, offering spaces built for creativity\, focus\, and growth. Learn more… \n​Introductory Offer – seats are limited! \n​This is a one-time launch cohort at a special introductory offer. \n​Connect with us: \n​This workshop is part of the ongoing WE ARE IN AI™ event series. We are a global platform dedicated to making responsible AI and Human-Centered Innovation clear\, practical\, and achievable\, connecting those who are actively building the future with intention.

SUMMARY:Lean Essentials Sprint Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fast-paced series of workshops where you’ll learn the essential skills to kickstart your lean journey! \n\n\n\n\nThe Lean Essentials Sprint (LES) is an accelerator designed to help founders starting innovative\, scalable companies discover their customer\, validate that customer\, establish the value proposition\, and work through many other key components needed to launch and scale a successful business. The course is designed to accomplish three basic objectives: \nEntrepreneurs must let go of their precious “ideas.” Ideas don’t make money\, business models with customers make money\, and teams that execute make money. \nThe answers are outside the building. Entrepreneurs must go get primary data directly from potential customers and partners in order to truly get insights into the idea\, the model\, and the viability of the business. \nBusiness acumen matters. Startups must have a basic understanding of business models\, pricing\, costing\, margins\, market capacity\, and product/service capacity in order to make good business decisions. \nWhat to Expect: \nEach week\, the series will cover the following content\, culminating in a final Demo Day for participants to practice their pitch in front of investors \n\n3/11/26: Business Model Canvas\n3/17/26: Product Positioning & Value Proposition\n3/24/26: Customer Interviews\n3/31/26: Customer Interviews\, Relationships & Minimum Viable Product\n4/7/26: Market Research & TAM SAM SOM\n4/14/26: Finance\n4/21/26: Funnels\, Channels & Metrics\n4/28/26: Pitching & Mission & Vision\nClass 9: Demo Day\, Class Presentations and Insights

SUMMARY:March 11 - Strategies for Validating World Models and Action-Conditioned Video
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one hour hands-on workshop where we will explore emerging challenges in developing and validating world foundation models and video-generation AI systems for robotics and autonomous vehicles. \nTime and Location \nMar 11\, 2026\n10-11am PST\nOnline\, Register for the Zoom! \nIndustries from robotics to autonomous vehicles are converging on world foundation models (WFMs) and action-conditioned video generation\, where the challenge is predicting physics\, causality\, and intent. But this shift has created a massive new bottleneck: validation. \nHow do you debug a model that imagines the future? How do you curate petabyte-scale video datasets to capture the “long tail” of rare events without drowning in storage costs? And how do you ensure temporal consistency when your training data lives in scattered data lakes? \nIn this session\, we explore technical workflows for the next generation of Visual AI. We will dissect the “Video Data Monster\,” demonstrating how to build feedback loops that bridge the gap between generative imagination and physical reality. Learn how leading teams are using federated data strategies and collaborative evaluation to turn video from a storage burden into a structured\, queryable asset for embodied intelligence. \nAbout the Speaker \nNick Lotz is chemical process engineer-turned-developer who is currently a Technical Marketing Engineer at Voxel51. He is particularly interested in bringing observability and security to all layers of the AI stack.

SUMMARY:AI Camp & Post-Event Social at Karl Strauss
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: THIS INVITE IS FOR THE POST EVENT HAPPY HOUR ONLY. TO REGISTER FOR THE MAIN EVENT\, PLEASE HEAD TO https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026032617 \nThe demos might end at 7\, but the build continues.\nWhile the main February A.I. Camp meetup at Google is packed with high-intensity lightning demos and deep technical dives\, the clock waits for no one—and Google kicks us out at 7:00 PM sharp. Because the best conversations usually happen in the “hallway track\,” we’re moving the entire AI Camp San Diego community down the road to Karl Strauss Brewery to keep the momentum going. \n⏱ The Full Circuit \nTo maximize the night\, we’re scaling our networking in two phases: \n5:00 PM – 6:45 PM | The Main Event @ Google Deep dive tech talks on AI\, GenAI\, LLMs and Agents\, hands-on experiences on code labs and workshops. \n7:00 PM – 7:15 PM | Migration Google clears the room; we move the conversation to the brewery. \n7:15 PM – 9:00 PM | AI Tinkerers After-Hours @ Karl Strauss The dedicated space for low-latency\, builder-to-builder networking. \n🚀 Why Join the After-Hours? \nWe skip the fluff and sales pitches during the demos\, and we keep that same energy at the brewery. This is your time to: \nDeep Dive: Grill the presenters on the technical architecture they just showcased. \nDebug & Debate: Discuss the trade-offs of the latest frontier models over a Red Trolley Ale. \nConnect: Meet engineers and founders from firms like NVIDIA\, Google\, and RabbitAI who are actually shipping AI products. \nWhether you’re looking for a collaborator for your next experiment or just want to talk shop with people who know their way around an inference stack—pull up a chair. \n📍 Logistics \nLocation: Karl Strauss Brewery (Sorrento Mesa) \nAddress: 9675 Scranton Rd\, San Diego\, CA 92121 \nTime: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nVibe: Casual\, technical\, and a strictly “no-pitch” zone.
