TED TALK SALON - The Risks and Rewards of AI @ SECULAR SATURDAY

Understanding the ethical, societal, and individual implications of AI is not an optional endeavor; it's a humanistic imperative. This session will focus on both the negative and positive impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and how to make the most of this technology to help humanity thrive. Come watch the videos below together, then discuss the implications of this rapidly growing technology.

The videos and discussion will be from 3:00—4:30. Afterwards, join other Secular Saturday attendees in the gallery for refreshments and socializing.

*Tea and bite-sized treats from Rebecca's Bakery & Café will be provided.
