Our AI Infrastructure: A Deep-Dive

A peek behind the curtain on how we run an open source, global, and privacy-first AI Infrastructure

In this session, we will let you all see behind the curtain of amazea.ai. This will not be a sales pitch in any way, but rather an in-depth overview of how AI infrastructure is run globally today. While AI developers might only see an API endpoint, behind the scenes, a lot more is happening. A short overview of the things that we will cover:

• API Gateways
• How LLMs are actually executed
• How VectorDBs work
• Monitoring, Alerting, and Metrics tools we use
• How can we ensure privacy and data compliance
• Actual demos, Dashboards, and much more!

Assessing the Risk

The Cost of Waiting: What Happens if You Ignore AI

AI is moving fast, and those who wait to adopt risk falling behind. But Drupal AI is already enabling developers and businesses to eliminate bottlenecks and inefficiencies and deliver more value through enhanced content, AI search, and smarter site operations.

In this lightning talk, Michael will show what’s possible today, what’s coming next, and practical ways to adopt AI to build experience, gain momentum, and stay ahead of competitors, rather than scrambling to catch up. Plus, why privacy and security are imperative when adopting AI.

Designing for Difference: Practical Strategies for Building a Neuroinclusive Organization

If recognizing the value of neurodiversity is the first step, the next is changing systems, environments, and behaviours to actually support neurodivergent people. Neuroinclusive spaces use the ethos of Universal Design.

Universal Design (UD) is a concept that involves designing products and environments to be usable by as many people as possible, regardless of age, size, ability, or disability. The goal is to maximize usability without specialized design or adaptation. UD can be applied to many things, including buildings, services, tools, learning strategies, and physical spaces. It focuses on equity in design.

This session will move beyond why neurodiversity matters and focus on how to operationalize inclusion at every level of an organization, from hiring to team culture to leadership practices.

Neuroinclusion isn’t about fixing people, it’s about fixing systems.
