About this event
Online. Everyone seems to be talking about AI these days, but what if some of the biggest claims about it are more hype than reality? Join us for a discussion of The AI Con, a thought-provoking look at how AI is marketed, who benefits from the hype, and what it all means for our work, creativity, education, and everyday lives. Whether you're excited about AI, skeptical of it, or just trying to make sense of all the headlines, this book offers plenty to talk about. No technical background required, just bring your curiosity and your opinions. Fill out our registration form by noon on Octber 27th, to sign up. Free copies will be provided to early registrants.
