The Hidden History of AI: Data, Power & Society | Stanford Lecture (free)

How did we get from centuries-old census records to artificial intelligence making decisions about our lives?
Join an intellectually stimulating conversation with Matthew L. Jones, Professor of History at Princeton University, about his book How Data Happened: A History from the Age of Reason to the Age of Algorithms, with commentary by Tom Mullaney of Stanford University.
We'll explore some fascinating questions:

• How did data become one of the most powerful forces shaping our world?
• Can algorithms ever be truly objective?
• How do governments and corporations use data to influence our choices and opportunities?
• What can history teach us about the future of AI?
• Who should decide how these powerful technologies are used?

This isn't a technical AI workshop. It's a thought-provoking discussion about the intersection of technology, history, philosophy, and human society.
Whether you're interested in AI, psychology, technology, or simply enjoy exploring big ideas, this promises to be a fascinating afternoon at Stanford.

### Important: NO-HOST EVENT

This is a public Stanford University event, not organized by our Meetup group.
There will be no designated Meetup host or organized group gathering. I'm sharing it because I think many of you will find it interesting. I may attend myself, but I can't confirm yet.
Feel free to RSVP here to see who else from our community is interested and coordinate with one another if you'd like to attend together.
