Two Too Many Beats One Too Few: My AI Experiments: an LOL with Sten Hougaard

Two Too Many Beats One Too Few: My AI Experiments: an LOL with Sten Hougaard

Oct 17 • 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Think like a cook with AI: experiment, taste, make a mess. Sten Hougaard uses AI for nearly everything, and he’d rather cook up two experiments too many than one too few. In this Learn Out Loud, he opens his AI kitchen and shows how AI components have become part of his toolbox, the way a chef reaches for a favorite knife, a pan, or a pinch of something unexpected. Sten lifts the lid on a handful of his experiments. He shows how his ideas pop up, how he mixes the ingredients, and what he does when a dish turns out weird. This session is for anyone who already uses AI and wants to think more like a cook than a user: curious, playful, and comfortable making a mess. Attendees leave with a new way to approach their own experiments and a few recipes to try. This is a free event, open to all …

Don’t Turn Three AI Risks Into One Blunt Restriction: A Risk-Based U.S. Policy for Chinese Models, Distillation, and Open-Weight AI
August 2026
Read the full brief
Since May 2023, I’ve invested more than 4,000 hours learning, experimenting, and applying AI through the AI Salon community. What began as nightly sessions quickly evolved into a professional and personal transformation. The consistency of showing up, collaborating, and applying new ideas in real time has sharpened my skills and completely changed how I think and operate in business. AI Salon has been more than a learning space—it’s been an accelerator for growth, connection, and real-world execution. Its structure, culture of generosity, and commitment to hands-on experimentation have directly influenced the way I serve my clients and lead my company. While the community is the heartbeat of the experience, much of its strength comes from Kyle Shannon’s leadership—his vision, curiosity, and willingness to invite others to learn alongside him set the standard for what collaborative innovation looks like. AI Salon didn’t just expand my knowledge of AI; it expanded what I believed was possible for my career and my life.

“Being part of the AI Salon has truly changed my life for the better. Kyle Shannon and the amazing community he has built have opened doors I never imagined. The weekly meetings, resources, and workshops are filled with real knowledge and genuine support. What makes the AI Salon stand out is the people. Everyone is so open to teaching, sharing, and helping others grow. I have made connections that inspire me daily and remind me that collaboration and generosity of spirit are what drive real progress.”
— Daniele H.
“In a time where a lot of folks are all about “me”…this group is all about “we.” It’s beautiful. Everyone here reinforces the change I feel, see, and experience daily in the world of AI.”
— Erica Hanna
