Another fantastic chapter event happened last week!

Our main speaker Yegor talked about a topic that probably all of us can relate to in the times of AI: Cognitive load. We learned about the processes in our brains, the different types of cognitive load, and why it is important to think about techniques and methods to reduce the load where necessary and possible. You can grab the slides in our slack channel!

After that we had a glorious round of pizza and networking! Thanks again to TestMu AI and Assecor for providing us with food, drinks and space!

With happy tummies and new ideas we took our seats again to listen to some high-quality 99-second-talks:
Dmytro spoke about his own experiences with cognitive overload and how he deals with it, which sparked a discussion about self-care in the audience. And then Sharib introduced us to AI Conductors πŸ€—
