Post-Partisan Forum: Using AI to Understand Human Stupidity

Serious thinkers have been pondering human stupidity for centuries. Some describe it as mental laziness, while others see it as a capitulation to group pressure and hierarchy. There's even a school of thought that views it as a manipulative means of amassing power.

At this month's Forum, your facilitators will step through several of these theories. We'll then share how we're using AI to generate the podcasts and graphics we plan on using for our course on stupidity, to be taught next month through DU's OLLI program.

As always, we'll lave plenty of time for discussion, during which we'll ask whether AI can present the various theories of irrationality clearly enough to help the ordinary person avoid leading what Socrates called "the unexamined life."
