About this event

**A free, public workshop with no technical background needed**

* **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 exe
