About Event

​​​​​​​​​​A free, public workshop- no technical background needed.

​​​​​​​​​​In just the past 8 months, 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 will you 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.
