- Sunday Spotlight: Being Human in an AI WorldNeutra House , Los Altos, CA
The rapid advancement of AI brings both exciting opportunities and complex challenges as we adapt to a changing world. As AI algorithms become more adept at meeting our individual needs, we're faced with major questions about how these technologies will affect us and our societal structures -- and what it means to be human. Join us for a discussion on this important topic, led by bioethicist Curt Collier.
This gathering is part of our monthly 'Spotlight' series, where we feature speakers who encourage us to broaden our ethical outlook on the world. We invite discussion, and we mix in a little live music, light refreshment, and community sharing. The program runs from 11 AM to 12:30 PM, and all are welcome to linger afterward, share thoughts, and socialize. Better yet, stay for lunch! -- which we'll enjoy together on the patio from 12:45 to 1:45. Bring something to share if you like, vegan appreciated.
