We’re excited to announce another Parkville AI meetup. This time our speaker will be Dr Ben Goudey, AI technical lead at Australian Biocommons! We welcome discussion and participation as we talk about AI in the context of biology/bioinformatics and more broadly. Details in the attached image.
When: Thursday, 2 July - 1:30-3pm
Where: 21 Bedford Street, North Melbourne (room 203)

Title: What Do We Mean by "AI"? Working towards a shared vocabulary.

Speaker: Dr Ben Goudey (Australian BioCommons)
 
Abstract: AI jargon are growing faster than a shared understanding of these terms can keep up. What do we mean when we talk about AI? How do AI, GenAI, and machine learning differ? And how do LLMs, coding agents, MCP, and skills relate to each other?
 
In this session, I want to share my perspective on AI terms and definitions and show how these different technologies and terms map together. I'll also highlight where terms have become overloaded as the underlying technology has rapidly shifted. The session is built around discussion and debate with the goal of improving our shared vocabulary in this space.
