(North Chicago) Holding the Line Against AI

On Wednesday, October 28th at 6:00pm, the Lake County’s Sheriff’s Office, State’s Attorney’s Office, Regional Office of Education, and the Child Advocacy Center will host a public AI Community Safety event for residents in and around Lake County.

The event will be informative, demonstrating the pace of AI progress and how accelerating development poses advanced risks for community members to consider. Topics covered include: What AI is (and is not); how bad actors are using AI to threaten society; the use of AI to create misinformation; how children and the elderly are vulnerable to AI scams; the significance of AI research automation; rogue AI agents.

How unready are we for what lies ahead? How do we, as a community, plan accordingly?
