Our Shared Future (Re)Shaped by AI

Join American Public Square and Johnson County Library at Johnson County Community College (Polsky Theatre - Midwest Trust Center) Tickets sales on Eventbrite are closed. Please purchase your ticket through our partner at JCCC's website: https://www.jccc.edu/midwest-trust-center/events/2026-2027/our-shared-future-reshaped-by-ai.html Artificial intelligence is already reshaping education, politics, media, medicine, business and the future of work at extraordinary speed. As tech companies race to build massive AI data centers, citizens and governments scramble to respond to fundamental questions about ethics, power, privacy, creativity and Democracy. Will AI create prosperity and innovation or deepen inequality and social isolation? What impact will it have on the workforce? And how do we preserve human judgment, trust and connection in a world increasingly mediated by machines? Join American Public Square and Johnson County Library for a timely conversation exploring the ethical, political, economic and human consequences of the AI revolution and what it could mean for the future of American life. Check online at jocolibrary.org/events for location details later this fall. Doors open at 5:30 PM and the program will begin at 6 PM.
