See Makers Experiment in AI at World Maker Faire New York Make:

Maker Faire has always been not only a chance to see things made by passionate community members but also an opportunity to experience cutting edge technology as it is explored by the brilliant people around you. I can remember going to Maker Faires and seeing the evolution of the cheap desktop 3d printer first hand. Now, we have the opportunity to see similar growing and exploring in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Get yourself to World Maker Faire New York September 22nd-23rd, and you'll have a chance to see people making some incredible things. Here are just a few examples of the AI based projects that we expect to have there.
