Building full stack AI chatbots with Java | Live coding session

AI is one of the most exciting (and controversial) technology trends in the 21st century. As of 2022, the global AI market is valued at over $136 billion and is projected to increase by 13x by 2030.

Are you ready to seize the opportunities it brings? Join our Speakers Corner to learn about it and polish your skills at Speakers Corner in the form of the live coding session where we will talk about AI and chatbots.

Our speaker - Lucian Gruia - has more than 10 years of experience and a particular interest in AI. Join him - to learn, collaborate and co-create.
The event was conducted as a live coding session, where we showed how to build a chatbot from scratch.
