Artificial Intelligence is no longer abstract—it’s here, rapidly reshaping how we create, work, and connect. In Pennsylvania alone, new investments in AI are fueling innovation across industries, from education and media to healthcare and beyond.

At the same time, we’re living with a tension: our daily lives are deeply intertwined with tools like social media, long powered by the tech sector, yet many of us are only beginning to reckon with the implications of AI’s next wave.

This month’s Third Thursday brings together technologists, creatives, and educators to unpack these dynamics—highlighting the opportunities, the blind spots, and the human stories behind the algorithms.

This event is presented in collaboration with Thinker Makers Society.
