Join a guided community conversation exploring the promises, challenges, and choices we face in an age of AI. Imagine an hour where curious minds gather, ideas spark across the room, and everyone has a voice. Hosted by Bridget Burke, these bimonthly salons are welcoming spaces to explore how intelligent machines are reshaping real life—work, healthcare, getting around, creativity, family traditions, and even our choices.

Bring your curiosity and an open mind; engage in a lively, respectful conversation among neighbors who enjoy thinking together. No lectures. No jargon. Each Salon will explore a fresh question, sometimes playful, sometimes profound but always tied to the ways technology and humanity are learning to live side by side.

Whether you come to listen, share a story, or challenge an idea, you will leave with new perspectives and, we hope, a smile.
