A free, public workshop — no technical background needed.
In just a few years, AI has advanced at a pace that stunned even leading experts. These systems aren't science fiction anymore — they're reshaping work, relationships, and even crime in real time. This workshop explores where AI may be in the next 1–5 years and what that means for your daily life.
Together, we'll tackle urgent questions like:
- Jobs: Could AI lead to mass unemployment — or entirely new kinds of work?
- Crime: How might AI supercharge scams, hacking, and even physical crime?
- Companions: Will people form deep emotional bonds — or even romantic relationships — with AI assistants?
- Society: How do top researchers think these trends will shape our future?
What you'll get:
- A fast-paced, beginner-friendly overview of today's most powerful AI systems
- Live demos that reveal both the breakthroughs and the risks
- An interactive forecasting exercise where you'll test your own predictions about AI's impact
Come ready to explore a future arriving faster than most people realize — one that could transform not just how we work, but how we trust, connect, and even love.
