SUMMARY:What's Up Wednesday - Libraries in the Age of AI: Bridging Technology and Society
DESCRIPTION:Technology evolves at an exponential pace—a concept that can 
 be challenging to grasp. Modern public libraries play a vital role in 
 helping patrons navigate and adapt to these rapid societal changes. We 
 provide access to digital literacy tools\, cutting-edge technology\, and 
 resources for cultural adaptation and inclusion.\n\nAs artificial 
 intelligence continues to advance\, the coming decade could bring 
 transformations comparable to those witnessed over the past century. To 
 prepare\, it is crucial to understand the various types of AI models and 
 their applications. Equally important is a shift in our perspective: from 
 focusing solely on local issues and linear projections to embracing a 
 global outlook that acknowledges exponential growth. Such growth will 
 transcend national borders and impact humanity on a universal scale.\n\nMIT 
 Predicts society will fall by 2040\, futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts we will 
 be living in abundance. Either way\, I think we are in for a wild 
 ride.\n\nPresenter(s): Michael Acsbok & Nicaris Daniels-Porter\n\nJoin
