AI is reshaping our world at lightning speed. It’s a force that promises unparalleled innovation, but it also stirs deep-seated anxieties.

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have had a transformative effect on most aspects of human life — working, shopping, entertaining, and communicating. With these advances, however, has also come a new tension that pits AI’s ability to transform against human reluctance to be transformed. Professor Meyer will discuss how the growing competition between humans and machines is often complex and laced with paradox. People can be mistrusting of the knowledge that comes from large language models, but accept AI advice on writing and creating.

With Professor Meyer’s guidance, learn how we can harness AI’s power while preserving our human ingenuity. Don’t miss your chance to influence the future of thinking and see how AI can be a win-win for all.
