Artificial Intelligence for the Rest of Us

NAVIGATING TECHNOLOGY & EMBRACING OPPORTUNITY TOGETHER 

  

Hosted by Dr. Angel Acosta

"Angel Acosta's work is grounded in compassion and injustice. And that's what he's bringing to this exploration of the world of AI for the rest of us.

His questions and insights, his brilliance and wisdom, his compassion and kindness are very much needed in this area, in this field. And he is helping lead the way for those of us who want to use these tools as a force for good in the world."

In a world where the pace of AI and automation is relentless, creating both unparalleled opportunities and widening inequalities, we need spaces to grapple and play with the rapid technological advancements.

 

This event is a series of virtual spaces to demystify AI, process collective anxiety around its disruptive nature, and together explore the practical aspects of these technologies. We invite you to engage in meaningful discussions, hands-on demonstrations, and interactive activities that will help us to navigate the complexities of AI with ease and confidence.
