  In this interactive talk, Alison shares her insights as a mom with a 30-year career at the front edge of tech to prepare yourself and your family for an AI-driven world. Artificial Intelligence is already reshaping our cultural landscape, unlocking a new “possible” and altering what drives success. But it’s also bringing us new problems we need to navigate, from deepfakes and disinformation to ethical concerns in education, shifting job landscapes, and even questioning our understanding of what it means to be human.

  How do we guide our families? What do we tell our kids about how to succeed in a future where AI is ubiquitous? How do we stay safe in an era of deepfakes everywhere? Where should AI be used—and not used—for schoolwork?

  With stories and frameworks, Alison helps you to understand the nuances of AI's integration into our lives. You’ll come away with practical knowledge to personally engage with AI, and ready to engage in meaningful discussions with those around you.
