Join us for a midday conversation with Sara Wolkenfeld, exploring what we talk about when we talk about artificial intelligence.
This program will examine the real questions AI raises—cutting through the noise to consider whether it is a threat, an opportunity, or one of the most transformative forces of our time.
Together, we will engage with Jewish ethical frameworks to explore how timeless values can guide us in making thoughtful, responsible choices about the technologies shaping our world—and what it means to lead with clarity in a rapidly evolving landscape.
