Session I: Ethics & Power

AI is shaping everyday life in ways many people don’t see, from access to resources and economic opportunities to environmental and social impacts. This session explores how AI is changing our communities and futures, who benefits, who may be left behind, and how citizens can help shape AI for the public good.

This event is open to the public but requires tickets. Furman students, faculty, and staff may attend for free and do not need to register.

Presented by The Riley Institute and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Furman, in collaboration with campus partners.
