AI: What Changes Next? Systems, Ethics, and Power Shifts

A guided 40-minute lunchtime discussion (12:05–12:45 PM) where each participant shares one idea about how AI is reshaping systems, ethics, work, and global power. Everyone gets up to 3 minutes to speak, followed by open conversation. No prep, no debate - just structured, intelligent exploration.

• AI systems and democratic impact
• Workforce automation and the future of jobs
• Ethical tradeoffs and emerging protections

• Military use, risk, and global stability
