\nWould you agr ee music provides the soundtrack to our lives? How about the fact that our lives at home and at work are changing faster than ever because of artifi cial intelligence? \; Host presenter\, \;Keith \;McDonald\, br ings these two ponderables together in a two-part virtual event. \;
\nThe CONCERTS for AI are his means to express the urgency and energy
of artificial intelligence in a creative and fun way. There are both risks
and possibilities where AI can either save us or kill us (and likely in b
etween). \; \;Keith \;riffs on this with humor\, drama\, and m
ore - using original music\, interviews\, multimedia\, and humor. This is\
, definitively\, not another speaker lecture with a PowerPoint deck. \
;
NOTE: These sessions are designed specifically for non-technical an
d non-practitioner audiences. \;Attendees will develop enhanced knowle
dge and awareness of the current impact/influence of artificial intelligen
ce and where the future of AI and humanity is headed. Most significantly\,
what the participant can do to mitigate the direct and personal +/- impac
ts of AI right now. \;
