AI and the Future Ahead of Us
A Community Conversation
Tuesday, October 27
7:00pm - 8:30pm
North Edison Branch
Meeting Room 2An introductory conversation for folks who are just beginning to learn about AI.
AI is affecting us in many ways today. As AI capability continues to advance, it might affect us in more ways than we thought possible. If AI will affect all of us, then we should all get some sort of say in the direction it takes.
Participants will watch a short video introducing the rapid pace of AI development. A facilitated group discussion will follow, exploring how AI is already changing our lives, and what that means for our community, safety, and future.
Open to adults. Registration is suggested but not required and begins October 12.
This Community Discussion was developed by our partner, the AI Safety Awareness Project
The AI Safety Awareness Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded on the belief that a safe AI future is one where the traditional pillars of U.S. society have a seat at the table in deciding the direction of AI. The AI Safety Awareness Project (AISAP) want to be there for the first step: education and skills-building, so that Americans have the necessary expertise and awareness to direct our AI future. They run workshops and education programs for a variety of community groups and public institutions including law enforcement agencies, libraries, churches, universities, as well as the general public. AISAP partners with industry experts to inform organizations about frontier AI research and developments, including topics as diverse as workforce augmentation and displacement, AI agents and companions, cybercrime, AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), and loss of control risk.
