Merlo Branch, Chicago Public Library

Join your neighbors for an AI Reality Check, part of a nationwide campaign about what AI means for our jobs, our kids, and our future.
In a short, plain-language presentation, we'll look at what AI is, its risks, and commonsense steps we can take to keep humans in control. We aren't AI experts. We are concerned citizens who are alarmed at the current intrusion of AI into our lives and who are looking to join up with other concerned members of the community. We want to you to bring your ideas, as you will be engaged as active participants in this presentation.
If you are looking to be better informed about AI and want practical ways to take action, please join us November 14!
Humans in Control is a cross-partisan movement for commonsense AI rules.
