Think & Drink – Demystifying AI: How Artificial Intelligence is Shaping Our Future
May 8 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Artificial Intelligence isn’t just science fiction anymore—it’s changing the way we live, work, and explore the world. Join us at the Gaylord Building for a lively and accessible conversation about how AI is shaping our future!
For May’s Think & Drink, researchers from Argonne National Laboratory will explain what AI really is (and what it isn’t), how scientists are using it to accelerate groundbreaking discoveries, and what emerging technologies could mean for our everyday lives.
Whether you’re an AI skeptic, enthusiast, or just curious about the future, this program promises to be informative, accessible, and engaging.
Free! Registration recommended (includes Public Landing Restaurant discount – details below)
