About this Event


Why This Lecture Matters to You?


1. You will move from confusion to clarity. AI terminology is often thrown around loosely in the news and media. You will walk away with a clear, demystified mental map of the three specific categories of AI. You won't just hear the buzzwords; you will understand what they actually mean.

2. You will understand the technology you already use. By exploring Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), you will finally understand the mechanics behind the tools you use every day—from the facial recognition on your phone to the way Netflix recommends movies. You will gain a realistic view of their "impressive capabilities" and their "inherent limitations."

3. You will learn to separate Science Fact from Science Fiction. There is a lot of hype about robots taking over the world. This lecture equips you to distinguish between:

  • Reality: Weak AI (ANI) that exists now.
  • Theory: Strong AI (AGI) that mimics humans.
  • Future Speculation: Superintelligence (ASI) that surpasses us. This knowledge allows you to have grounded, intelligent conversations about the future without falling for alarmist headlines.

4. You will be "Future-Ready" without needing a technical degree. This is a non-technical overview. You don't need to know how to code to understand how these systems will shape our future. You will leave equipped to "navigate the evolving landscape" of AI with confidence, understanding both the utopian possibilities and the ethical challenges ahead.


The Bottom Line

You aren't just attending a lecture; you are building a foundational literacy in the most important technology of our time, ensuring you aren't left behind as the conversation evolves.

For most professionals (marketers, managers, writers, admins), this skill functions as a multiplier on your current salary.


  • The Data: Recent labor market analysis (2024-2025) indicates that non-technical workers with AI literacy earn a salary premium of 18% to 47% compared to peers in the same role without these skills.
  • In Dollars: On average, this translates to an additional $18,000+ per year just for being the person on the team who understands how to apply these concepts.
  • Why? Employers are willing to pay more for someone who can "navigate the landscape" (as the lecture promises) because they don't make expensive mistakes confuses "sci-fi" (ASI) with "actual capabilities" (ANI).

2. Target Roles for "AI-Aware" Non-Techies

Once you have this foundation, you unlock "hybrid" roles that require business logic + AI understanding. These are not coding jobs; they are strategy jobs.
