AI Engineer
Also known as AIE, AI Engineer Summit, AI Engineer World's Fair
Conference series for engineers building with AI, started in San Francisco in 2023.
- AI Engineer is a series of technical conferences for engineers and technical leaders building products on foundation models.
- The flagship World's Fair runs each summer in San Francisco.
- Summits are also held in New York, alongside a Code Summit and editions in Paris and London.
- Talks are published on its YouTube channel.
Why it matters. For practitioners who want talks from engineers shipping AI systems rather than vendor pitches; the recordings are free online.
