COST: $10
For the first time in history, Artificial Intelligence has moved from the pages of science fiction to a reality in our everyday lives. From how we cure diseases to what we see on our social media feeds to how we drive our cars, AI will define more and more of how we think, feel and act. What does this mean for us as a civilization? Where is AI going? And what is our role in designing that future?
Join us for a lively evening of talks by industry experts from Google, Amazon, and others on the topic of AI. Talks will be interspersed with artists performances.
Drinks and light food will be provided. All proceeds will be donated to the artists.
