(This is an online event) Abstract : This presentation explores the evolution of automated transportation within public transit systems, focusing on ADASTEC’s real-world deployments and technology. ADASTEC develops SAE Level-4 automated driving software for full-size buses and has established operations across Europe and North America. Attendees will gain insights into deployment use cases, market drivers, safety compliance, and regulatory standards. The session will also address key engineering topics including sensor configurations, modular vs end-to-end AI models, and testing methodologies under real-world conditions. A live Q&A will follow to discuss public transit automation challenges and solutions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a futuristic idea, it is already making daily life more productive. In this talk, we will explore how AI-powered assistants can support independence and improve quality of life in assisted living communities. From helping manage medications and appointments, to providing companionship through natural conversations, AI is becoming a gentle, reliable partner. We will highlight real examples of how these technologies are opening new possibilities: people living with dementia are now able to create art simply by describing what they imagine in words; individuals with mobility challenges can control their environment—lights, music, reminders—just by speaking naturally; and caregivers are finding AI to be a valuable support in reducing stress while improving personalized care. Far from replacing human connection, these tools are designed to enhance it, giving people more opportunities for creativity, memory support, and meaningful engagement. The session will offer both a glimpse into today’s AI applications and a hopeful vision of how these innovations can help us all live better, longer, and more connected lives. We will also discuss a little about how such assistants are being made safer with policy discussions and company specific guard rails. Directions: Parking is limited at Newbury Court, so registration via v-Tools is important. Newbury Court has two entrances; one at 80 Deaconess Rd and the other at 100 Newbury Court. The 80 Deaconess Rd entrance is immediately after the Emerson Hospital driveway. Please ignore that entrance and continue on down the road (“Old Road to Nine Acre Corner”) until you see the second Newbury Court entrance and take that one. Drive up to the little traffic circle at the entrance and immediately after that is visitor parking. If this area is full, please park along the right side of the driveway heading back to the road. If anyone runs into difficulty, park temporarily at the traffic circle, run in, and ask the concierge for guidance as to where to park. Please check in at the Concierge desk, then proceed down the hall to the Morrison Theatre. Speaker(s):  Reshmi Ghosh, Bldg: Morrison Theatre, 100 Newbury Court, Concord, Massachusetts, United States

This meeting is postponed to a later date. We are working on the logistics for a future date & time. Tentatively moved to September 25 2025. We will update. Description: Join us to learn how easy it is to prototype an AI Assistant, ChatBot or other GenAI project with the Oracle AI Microservices Sandbox – a free, open-source, zero-code tool for rapid experimentation and iteration. Use any LLM, any embedding model, any data, with the full power and security of Oracle Database 23ai AI Vector Search. Keep your sensitive data secure and control, costs with self-hosted models, measure the accuracy and performance of your project and optimize model choice, hyperparameter values, chunking and embedding strategies and more for your particular use case and corpus. Eliminate hallucination and knowledge cutoff. Easily compare performance of models. Experiment and optimize with confidence! Please register here and at Meetup at least 2 days before the meeting since we need to get visitor badge for your attendance. https://www.meetup.com/nejug1/ This is ACM Boston Java Users Group meeting sponsored by IEEE NH Com/Sig Society.
