What to Do After an AI Conference at Stanford University? – Part III

From March 25 to 27, 2024, the AAAI Spring Symposium Series took place at Stanford University. One of the events was dedicated to the question of how generative AI can improve individual and social well-being. What do you do after such an AI conference? One option is to go to San Francisco. It is certainly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Another option is to head south-east. Not only is Death Valley located there, but also the Mojave Desert. It boasts an attraction, the Kelso Dunes. This is the largest field of aeolian sand deposits in the Mojave Desert. You could just as easily be in the north of Fuerteventura or the south of Gran Canaria. If you continue in the direction of Palm Springs, with a bit of luck you can marvel at another attraction: in some places you can see a Fata Morgana.
