Back to the Classroom | Who Owns the Future? The Geopolitics of AI

6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M.

What if you could step back into a classroom filled with all of the curiosity and conversation that define a Wake Forest education for just one evening? Join fellow Wake Forest alumni, parents and friends for a class with Politics and International Affairs Professor Dr. Tom Brister as he discusses ways in which the development and diffusion of artificial intelligence will impact geopolitics and the global balance of power. The session will also cover the debate on the impact of AI economically, socially and politically, with a focus on recent controversies over the potential harm of the technology and the means by which it will be restrained and governed in the future. Registration is $15 per person, which includes light food and beverages.
