Why this topic matters

Most PMs and developers talk about AI but can't decode a model announcement(opus 4.7). They see 'encoder-decoder architecture' or 'new optimizer' and nod along. Without NN's, you're pattern-matching on buzzwords. This session gives you the depth to read research, spot real innovation and continue learning online and from discussion with tech teams.
