AI Unplugged: Behind the Digital Curtain Artificial Intelligence is no longer a far-off science fiction concept — it’s here, shaping our world in ways both obvious and hidden.

We’ll explore: What AI Is & How It Works – Breaking down the key components in plain language. A Brief AI Timeline – From the earliest ideas to today’s breakthroughs. AI in Everyday Life – Surprising ways AI is already affecting how we shop, drive, communicate, learn, and even stay healthy. The Future of AI – What’s on the horizon and what it could mean for work, creativity, and daily living. Practical Uses Now – Tools and applications you can use today. AI-Generated Images – A peek at the creative side of machine intelligence.

The highlight of the program is a live, interactive session where the audience engages directly with AI voice technology. Past audiences have laughed and marveled as AI composed a Dr. Seuss-style poem about Chicago weather, explained quantum physics in the whimsical style of Lewis Carroll, recited The Raven in Gaelic, and more.
