About this Event
We keep being told that artificial intelligence is going to help us do just about everything. Make us healthy. Personally tutor each student. Run our businesses efficiently. Make our decisions. Even fold our laundry. As a result, we would have hours of additional free time, and our AI machines would make discoveries previously unimaginable for humankind.
What does that really mean? Will AI really make things better?
To find out, award-winning journalist Joanna Stern let AI run her life for one year. The results were both funny and unsettling, and she reported what happened in her new book I Am Not a Robot. Stern used AI tools and robots to do her household chores, manage her health, and transport her family on its vacation. If she needed a decision made or a task done, she let AI take the lead. The results were not what you’d expect, and Stern has produced an AI guide for ordinary people and gets around the hype and jargon that clutters our AI discussions.
Humankind is only a few years into the AI Age, but you can join us in-person—or virtually, like an AI agent—to get Joanna Stern’s lessons on what to expect and what it means for you.
