[Air-L] WEBCAST 15 JUN – Nepal National Summit on Artificial Intelligence 2024

Fri Jun 14 21:00:39 PDT 2024

Starting shortly. A major policy event from the newly re-organized ISOC
Nepal Chapter. I am told that this will be 100% discussion, no slides. How
much in English TBD, thus I am going to leave real time text until after,
but there should be live captions on the FB simulcasts.
