We have in store this fall a remarkable collection of events focused on Artificial Intelligence, an opportunity to examine closely the arrival, or incursion, of what some are calling an "invasive species" and others promise will deliver a new earthly paradise.
AI is reshaping how we live, work, create, and even think.
From medicine to education, from business to the arts, AI is rewriting the rules of human possibility at a breathtaking pace.
We have an opportunity this fall to step into that conversation together—listening to experts, exploring these new tools, and asking the big questions.
