Dr. Chow will return to the Mountain View Public Library to discuss how AI has evolved in the past year and demonstrate how the SJSU iSchool is using AI and emerging technologies. Also, hear from other community members on how they see AI and emerging technologies in their lives. What impacts are they already having on higher education? How will they change the workforce demands in the future? What are the primary pro's and con's? How do we best use them while protecting ourselves?
