SUMMARY:February AI Meetup - AI Data Testing and Coaching with AI
DESCRIPTION:February AI Meetup – AI Data Testing and Coaching with AI\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by Caelan H.\n\nChristchurch Artificial Intelligence\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore testing data and coaching conversations at February’s First Monday Meetup. Hamish Watson will be exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and testing data\, while Caelan Huntress will be sharing practical techniques for using AI as a personal coach. Drinks\, demos\, and practical takeaways included. \nMeet up with your local AI community on the First Monday of February at EPIC Innovation: \n5:30–6:00 pm — Drinks & Networking\n6:00–6:45 pm — AI Data Testing — Hamish Watson\n6:45–7:30 pm — Using AI as a Personal Coach — Caelan Huntress\n7:30–8:00 pm — Drinks & Open Q&A \nAI Data Testing — Hamish Watson\nThis talk delves into how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how we test data\, it will highlight how AI is revolutionising the approaches to data verification and validation.\nWe will explore AI methodologies for generating synthetic test data\, enhancing test coverage\, and automating testing processes.\nThe session will also cover the impact of AI on identifying hidden patterns within data\, ensuring higher accuracy\, and reducing biases in testing datasets. An introduction of how Test Driven Development and AI can enhance your data engineering practices will be presented. \nAfter this session\, you will gain practical insights into: \n\nhow AI can elevate the reliability and efficiency of your testing strategies\nhow to accelerate development cycles and improving software quality in today’s fast-paced technological landscape\n\nUsing AI as a Personal Coach — Caelan Huntress\nLearn how to think better\, decide faster\, and grow wiser\, with the help of AI.\nMost people use AI to get answers. But the real power of AI is using it to ask better questions.\nIn this interactive session\, you’ll learn how to turn a LLM into a personal coach that helps you reflect\, clarify your thinking\, and move forward with intention. This isn’t for abdicating your decisions to a machine. This is to use AI as a mirror—one that listens deeply\, reflects honestly\, and brings out the insights already inside you.\nYou will learn: \n\nHow coaching actually works (and why AI is surprisingly good at it)\nThe difference between Tell / Show / Ask modes—and why “Ask Mode” unlocks breakthroughs\nHow to design an AI coach persona that matches your style\nThe art of crafting questions that spark insight instead of giving advice\nPractical prompts you can use right away for clarity\, confidence\, and momentum\n\nYou’ll walk away with a repeatable process for using AI as a powerful thinking partner. \nWhen: Monday\, 2 February\, 5:30–8:00 pm\nWhere: EPIC Innovation\, Christchurch
