Louisville AI Exchange - March 2026

AI is transforming how we live and work, but that transformation comes with real questions, real tradeoffs, and real stakes for all of us.

In this candid and thought-provoking talk, Alisia McClain, Ph.D., shares her personal journey with artificial intelligence: the moments of genuine wonder at what it makes possible, the discomfort of confronting its environmental costs, and the deep conviction that her community cannot afford to be left out of the conversation.

This isn't just a normal tech talk. It's an honest reckoning with something simultaneously powerful and complicated, and a call to stop waiting on the sidelines while the future gets decided without us.

Come ready to think, question, and talk.
