Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving technology with the potential to revolutionize and disrupt the way we work, live and interact with one another! 

We hosted a multigenerational, virtual program in January 2024 to raise awareness about the risks, opportunities and responsibilities that come with this transformative technology. Check out the video to see what people had to say!
