Silicon Slopes November Lunch & Learn: Utah's Next Big AI Opportunity Might Surprise You

October 21, 2026

We've spent a lot of time talking about what AI can do on our computers.

But what happens when AI starts working alongside us in the physical world?

Think humanoid robots doing dangerous jobs. Exoskeletons helping workers lift heavy objects. AI detecting potential injuries before they happen. And on November 3, you'll get to see a humanoid robot in person!

Join us for our next Silicon Slopes AI Chapter Lunch & Learn featuring Arnaud Daurat, founder of Exxovantage and Astelia Robotics. Arnaud is working at the intersection of AI, robotics, workforce safety, and space exploration. He's bringing a small humanoid robot and some fascinating perspectives on where this technology is headed.

In this fireside chat, we'll explore questions like:

  • Will robots replace workers or make us more capable?

  • How close are we to seeing humanoid robots in everyday workplaces?

  • Could Utah become a leader in robotics and physical AI?

  • What does technology designed for Earth have to do with exploring the Moon?

If you've been wondering what's next after generative AI, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
