SUMMARY:Men's Group
DESCRIPTION:Join the Men’s Group this May for their monthly meeting\, hosted by Belmont Village in Lincoln Park. \nAll are welcome! This event is accessible. \nThis meeting\, presented by Village Member Torry Duffy poses the question\, “Why was the internet needed?” and is about the steps on the way from personal data to the power of the internet with the vast amount of data it links together\, and the power of classic search tools to give people the ability to find anything from anywhere that has changed their lives. And now\, with the availability of LLM AI\, how it selects the best information from the internet and presents it to you in ways that make it useful immediately. But that power is not without its perils.
