SUMMARY:Examining Emerging Uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Dementia Care
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is now closed for this event. Please call 773-248-8700 to register. Thank you. \nLocation: via Zoom \nMembers & guests: Free \nAI is becoming integrated into products for all stages of our lives\, including products for the care of people living with dementia. In this talk presented by Carolyn Woodruff\, we will discuss some of the categories where AI products are being introduced and will look at the needs that these technologies seek to address for both people living with dementia and their care partners. We will also touch on some of the potential risks they pose regarding privacy\, bias\, and accessibility. \n  \n \nCarolyn is currently a postgraduate social work fellow at the Mesulam Institute for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease. She received her master’s in social work at the University of Chicago in 2024. Prior to moving to Chicago\, Carolyn lived in Philadelphia where she worked in legal aid focused on the intersection of rental housing and domestic violence after completing her undergraduate degree in English with a minor in Statistics. She has long held an interest in the ways that algorithms and data can be used in ways that both harm and help.

SUMMARY:Saturday Afternoon at the Movies
DESCRIPTION:Online registration for this event is now closed. Please email info@thevillagechicago.org to register. \nMembers & guests–free \nAvailable to rent for $3.79 on Amazon  \nEvery Saturday afternoon\, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth\, organic discussion of films new and old.. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after! \nThank You for Smoking: 2005\, 93min\, Rotten Tomatoes 86%\, On Amazon & others streaming services\n\nContinuing with director Jason Reitman (Juno\, Up in the Air)\, here’s a satirical\, cynical comedy about tobacco companies’ leading lobbyist (Aaron Eckhart)\, who can spin the worst scenario into an advantageous argument. Twenty years ago\, the film was a hilarious satire. Is it still funny? Or uncomfortably real? Either way\, it’s a smart\, quick\, well acted film. Also with  JK Simmons\, William Macy\, Katie Holmes\, Sam Elliot\, Rob Lowe.

SUMMARY:Village Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Online registration is now closed for this event. Please call 773-248-8700 to register.\n\nCome join Village member David Baker for a late afternoon bird walk at Montrose Point.  We will welcome back the warblers and others that we saw in the Spring as they make their way from their nesting grounds in Wisconsin\, Minnesota and Canada and seek warmer climes for the winter.  It’s a fun challenge to identify the fledglings and the adults as their bright colors of spring are gone. We don’t call them “confusing fall warblers” for no reason.  We will meet at 4 pm at the entrance to Montrose and conclude by 5:30.  Wear appropriate clothing and sturdy shoes.  Bring your binoculars too.
