The famous Buenos Aires Media Party is here! This year, the conference will focus a lot on AI, especially the ethics, security, and privacy surrounding it. If you’re not in Argentina, you can keep an eye out for the #MediaParty hashtag on social media.

The Knight Center’s class on generative AI has started strong, with nearly 8,000 people signed up from almost 150 countries. The online course, featuring Hacks/Hackers AI researcher-in-residence Sil Hamilton, started last week. But it’s not too late to join - you can still sign up on the Knight Center website.
