will help us determine whether the room is close to reaching capacity. 
We plan to serve light refreshments (probably pizza) before the talk 
starting at around 6:30 pm. Letting us know you will come in person will 
help us determine how much pizza to order.

We may make some auxiliary material such as slides and access to the 
recording available after the seminar to people who have registered.

Paul Baier publishes an online (daily/weekly) newsletter about what's 
going on in the AI universe. gaiinsights.com [1]

He was also a moderator for several panels in the Dome at Davos during 
the Imagination in Action event last month I had asked him to give a 
talk about his impressions from Davos, but I think he'll also include 
some more general comments about other things happening in the AI world.
