The media has been filling the airwaves with scary predictions of artificial intelligence and its cataclysmic impact on human society, including the 2024 elections.  In this session, the Men’s Group will hear about three of the most notable concerns – deep fakes, impact on education, and loss of jobs – and how we individually might deal with these aspects of AI. No technology background is required.
