CFMC Party with a Purpose Virtual Chat Series Presents

AI 101: The Myths, The Legends, and The Every Day

AI – it’s on the news and in countless articles. Commentaries and opinions seem to appear everyday.

What is AI? Are we already using it? And the really big questions…where is it headed and what should we know?

Deciphering myth from legend from everyday reality can be overwhelming and confusing. Well, no more!

Join the Community Foundation and Sebastian Zimmeck, Wesleyan University, as we remove the science fiction from our understanding of real world AI.
