REGISTERING ON THIS PAGE WILL NOT GRANT YOU ACCESS TO THE EVENT** The data universe is expanding. You've been recruited. It's time to build. Step into the role of a data engineer at AstroTrips, a fictional interplanetary travel company, and build an AI-powered pipeline to process customer review using LLM analysis, intelligent routing, vector embeddings, and an AI agent that drafts responses, all with human-in-the-loop approval. **Workshop Details** * **Focus:** AI and LLM orchestration patterns * **Level:** Intermediate * **Prerequisites:** Basic Python knowledge, familiarity with Airflow concepts helpful but not required * **Environment:** Browser-based (Astro IDE), no local setup or Docker required **Mission Breakdown** We'll kick off with an introduction to AstroTrips, Airflow as a unified control plane for data and AI, and the decorator-based approach to LLM orchestration. **Hands-on Workshop Stages:** * **Setup:** Connect to the Astro IDE, start your Airflow environment, and explore the Support Portal plugin. * **Analyze reviews:** Build an LLM pipeline that classifies and summarizes customer reviews, including image analysis for reviews with attachments. * **Route reviews**: Use AI-powered branching to assign reviews to the right team, with dynamic task mapping over the full review queue. * **Embed reviews:** Generate vector embeddings and store them for similarity search, with asset-triggered scheduling. * **Respond to reviews:** Build an agent with database tools that drafts customer responses, then pause for human approval before persisting the result. **Mission Accomplished** After the workshop, stick around for drinks and snacks on our post-mission networking reception. **Agenda** * **3:45pm** \- Doors open * **4:00pm** \- Kickoff * **4:10pm** \- Presentation and Q&A with Laurel * **4:40pm** \- Break * **4:45pm** \- 90\-minute hands\-on build: AI pipelines with Airflow 3 * **6:20pm** \- Networking\, drinks & bites * **7:00pm** \- Event concludes **PLEASE NOTE- YOU MUST [REGISTER HERE](https://www.astronomer.io/events/space-camp/sf/?utm_source=meetup&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=space-camp-sf-7-26) TO APPLY TO JOIN.

The AGI Transition: How AI Affects Work and Life

Thu, Aug 13, 1:00 AM

**A free, public workshop—no technical background needed** Artificial intelligence is no longer just getting better at narrow tasks—it’s beginning to look *general*. Many researchers believe we’re entering the early stages of the **AGI transition**: a period where AI systems start to match or exceed human abilities across a wide range of domains. This workshop explores what AGI actually means, how to think about it intuitively (without hype or jargon), and what this transition could mean for your job, your relationships, and your day-to-day life—much sooner than most people expect. Together, we’ll explore questions like: **What is AGI?** How do experts define artificial general intelligence, and how is it different from today’s AI tools? **Work & Jobs:** Which kinds of jobs are already being automated or transformed—and which ones experts believe are most likely to remain resilient? **Human Connection:** How is AI starting to replace or supplement roles once filled by coworkers, friends, tutors, therapists, and companions? **What you’ll get:** * A clear, beginner-friendly explanation of AGI and why it matters * Real-world examples of how AI is already reshaping work and social life * Live demos that highlight both impressive capabilities and emerging risks * Interactive discussion and exercises to test your own intuitions about the future Come ready to grapple with one of the biggest transitions humanity may ever face—a shift that could redefine not just how we work, but how we relate to each other, find meaning, and navigate a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines.
