Most of what we hear about Artificial Intelligence comes from two camps: the frontier labs promising a transformed world, and the rest of us wondering what it means for our jobs, our kids, and our daily routines. EHS member Jared Lorince will talk about his work developing AI products along with his perspective on AI use as a parent trying to make sense of the world his own children are growing up in. In sharing what AI looks like from that middle ground, he’ll tell us what he finds genuinely remarkable, what's overhyped, and why the real story isn't Skynet or magic, but a technology moving faster than our institutions and families can adapt.

Join us for a morning stroll through Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo. We’ll meet at 10:30 am at the Searle Visitor Center near the east at 2400 N. Cannon Dr. From there we will enjoy a leisurely walk visiting the animals. Depending on the group preferences, we might attend a feeding demonstration or simply visit some of the zoo’s inhabitants. Afterwards, we’ll find a spot for some lunch and conversation. 

Admission is free and there are opportunities to purchase food and drinks in the park. Paid parking is available in the lot on the east side of the zoo. All ages are welcome. Dress comfortably and be prepared to walk for 90 minutes to 2 hours.

EHS member John Ungashick will begin his talk with a short history of Iran/Persia from ancient times to World War II. He will then discuss the reign of the last shah (Mohammad Reza Pahlavi) and the 1979 revolution that ushered in the Islamic Republic. Finally, he will take us through the actions of the Islamic Republic from Jimmy Carter down to the present and Donald Trump.
