Artificial Intelligence: Shaping the World Around Us

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all around, and many of us are still unsure what it means and how it impacts us - or how to navigate it safely, ethically, and effectively. 

Wright Library has partnered with Dignified Learning in Cincinnati, OH, to offer free public sessions about AI in additional to our collection of books, magazines, and newspapers that offer the latest information about this new technology.

Program: Artificial Intelligence in Your Everyday Life

Thursday, February 5, 2026 from 12:00 noon - 1:00 p.m.

This is a Lunch & Learn program where attendees may bring their own lunch to enjoy during the program, or conveniently attend virtually.

This program is made possible by the Wright Library Foundation.
