🧠 Lecture: "Artificial Intelligence: Truth, Hype, and What's Next"

🎙️ Speaker: Brent M. Nowak, PhD

Every major technological revolution has transformed society in ways its inventors never anticipated. Artificial intelligence may prove to be no different.

Join us for an engaging evening as Dr. Brent Nowak examines AI through the lens of history, exploring how technological innovation, public policy, economics, and human values interact to shape our future. Moving beyond headlines and hype, he’ll discuss what AI can really do today, where its limitations remain, and why governance and human judgment may be just as important as the technology itself.

Drawing on more than 35 years of experience developing mission-critical systems for NASA, defense, robotics, and healthcare, Dr. Nowak offers a practical, balanced perspective on one of the defining technologies of our age. The question is no longer whether AI will change society—it’s who will help decide what that future looks like.
