Choose Our Future With AI

Three generations of thinkers, doers, and dreamers bringing their voice to a future where AI works for all of us.
About this Event

AI is reshaping life, learning, and work faster than most of us are prepared for. The window to influence what comes next is open, but it will not stay open.

​On April 16, join thought leaders, students, educators, and community members at KQED for a provocative, hands-on, multi-generational convening focused on the real choices humans must make as AI reshapes life, learning, and work. This is a rare opportunity to confront the fears and tradeoffs of today's AI trajectories head-on, challenge inherited assumptions about progress, and leave with a sharper sense of purpose and agency.


What to expect:

  • ​Thought-provoking panels exploring positive, negative, and surprising AI futures
  • ​A hands-on creative experience: make music with AI
  • ​Small-group dialogues grounded in real success stories and concrete actions
  • ​Structured connection across generations: Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers
  • ​A launching pad for ongoing community and coordinated action

​Come ready to engage, connect, and act.


In-person spots are invite-only | All are welcome to join online.

Free to attend | Lunch provided for in-person guests.

BYOV | Bring your own voice! We want to hear your reflections.


Hosted by H-Corps Alliance, KQED, OurMedia, and California Community Colleges.
