AI is everywhere, but is it actually useful?
This hands-on workshop cuts through the hype and focuses on what AI can genuinely do for real people in real workflows. Led by **Scott Hanselman** (VP, Developer Community at Microsoft), the session is practical, grounded, and interactive.
We'll look at:
* Large vs. small language models, and when model size actually matters
* NPUs and edge AI, and how to think critically about AI performance claims
* Practical productivity patterns that reduce toil instead of adding it
* How to spot inflated claims and avoid the grift
Bring a laptop, an open mind, and a healthy dose of skepticism. No PhD required.
Free, but registration is required and seats are limited. Register at [steamcircuit.com](https://www.steamcircuit.com/events/ai-builder-series-ai-without-the-hype-september-5-2026).
Hosted by STEAM Circuit as part of the AI Builder Series. |
