Come talk with Chris Perry (author of Perspective Agents, Weber Shandwick Futures) about AI, the future, and how we can prepare ourselves
Join us on Tue 4/2 at 6:30pm, we'll be hosting a talk with Chris Perry, author of Perspective Agents and chair of Weber Shandwick Futures. He'll be telling us about his book, which tackles the rapid period of change we are living through, what he calls "an AI-induced Renaissance period." Just as the printing press reshaped society half a millennium ago, today's technological revolution will demand a similar recalibration of perspective and action.
Chris will also be interviewing Vince Trost, co-founder of Honcho, followed by a live demo.
EARLY BIRD GIVEAWAY
First 20 people in the door on April 2nd will receive a free copy of Perspective Agents!
About Perspective Agents
We can’t predict with certainty if AI is a prosperity-builder or an agent of doom. Chris wrote Perspective Agents because he thinks that democracy, the free press, and higher education as we know them may not withstand a social revolution. The influx of AI will push us further into a place of instability and confusion. Developing a forward-leaning, nuanced perspective is necessary to navigate social discord caused by new technologies. New sources – encompassing human insight and artificial intelligence – will help us through this turning point. The book is meant to be a guide to help us see the future through a different lens.
