Artificial Intelligence - US, Europe and
Austria
5:00 PM PST
Register at: form.jotform.com/233187026752154
Discussing the impact
of AI on companies, geopolitics, and
diplomatic decision-making in the US,
Europe, and Austria.
The Austrian Consulate General Los Angeles
in cooperation with Advantage Austria Los
Angeles and California Lutheran University
present TechDiplomacy Talks. Key
technologies, such as AI, quantum, neuro,
nano, bio and 6G technologies, and the
process of digitalization, are becoming
increasingly important due to their
transformative - but also disruptive -
effect on businesses, foreign and
geopolitics, and diplomatic decision-making.
In order to do justice to this new
geopolitical environment and to find
appropriate responses to these new
challenges in close cooperation with the
USA, EU, and its member states, increased
attention will be paid to building the
capacities of a more strategically
positioned tech diplomacy at the BMEIA.
Building on the traditional focus of
Austrian foreign policy, Austrian tech
diplomacy also contributes to shaping an
order for the digital space that is based on
international law and, in particular, human
rights. Digital humanism offers a good
compass for dealing with the great potential
and risks of new technologies.
Presented by:
Austrian Consulate General Los Angeles,
Advantage Austria Los Angeles, and

Unraveling the Evolution of Wi-Fi:
A Journey from 1 to 7
On November 7, Chris Hansen
gave a talk to the IEEE Buenaventura Communications
Society Chapter. WiFi standards have had a profound
impact on how we connect and communicate in the
digital age. They have transformed our daily lives,
enabling us to access information, connect our
devices, and engage with online services seamlessly.
As WiFi standards continue to evolve, we can
anticipate even faster, more reliable, and secure
wireless networking experiences in the future.
Wi-Fi 7, the latest version of the ubiquitous
wireless networking technology based on the IEEE
802.11 standard, is now coming to market. This
talk describes the steps that Wi-Fi has taken to get
where it is today. It includes history of the
standards, regulations, integrated circuits and
features that make fast, short range wireless
networks possible. (Video,

What You Should Know About Work:
For the soon-to-be employed, newly employed, or
the employed but confused
On November 8, Karl Geiger
gave a talk to the IEEE Buenaventura Computer
Society Chapter. New entrants to the workforce may
find the work place confusing, especially when
entering directly from school after finishing a
degree. The motivations and reasoning behind
management decisions can seem unclear and confusing
because professional training focuses on particular
technical skills instead of business, economics, and
"soft skills" such as workplace politics. This talk
gives the soon-to-be employed, the newly employed,
or the already-employed-but-confused a leg up.
Hear why and how companies
make decisions that affect their employees and
business, what sort of companies and managers exist
and what they expect, and how to maximize your
skills and treat yourself as a "business of one."
The presentation concludes with resources useful for
adopting a "business mindset" to let you become more
capable, well-rounded, and valuable to your bosses
and yourself. (Video,

FIRST Lego League Robotics
Tournament
On Sunday, November 12, a FIRST
Lego League Qualifying Tournament was held in Thousand
Oaks at La Reina High School. About 150 middle school
students from 23 teams competed to go on to a regional
tournament. FIRST inspires young people to be science
and technology leaders and innovators. IEEE
Buenaventura Section supported this event both
financially and in providing volunteers.
Teams of students in FIRST Lego League Challenge
engage in research, problem-solving, coding and
engineering – building and programming a Lego robot
that navigates the missions of a robot game. Teams
also participate in a research project to identify and
solve a relevant real-world problem. (Report)
