Navigating the AI Era: Challenges and Opportunities
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping nearly every aspect of modern life — from how we learn and work to how we access healthcare and interact with technology. To help the community better understand this evolving landscape, the Crown Point Community Library invites the public to attend “Navigating the AI Era: Challenges and Opportunities”, a panel discussion and Q&A featuring local experts.
The panel will explore the many ways AI is influencing education, healthcare, and the workplace, while also addressing the ethical and social questions it raises. Attendees will gain valuable insights into both the promise and the pitfalls of this fast-changing technology.
Panelists include:
-
Diana Smith, Director of Grants and Assessment, Crown Point Community School Corporation
-
Nicholas Casas, Assistant Librarian for Teaching and Learning, IU Northwest
-
Gagandeep Kaur, Assistant Professor of Nursing, IU Northwest
-
Stephanie Baranko Lincoln, Clinical Assistant Professor and RN to BSN Program Coordinator, IU Northwest
The discussion will be moderated by Cynthia O’Dell, Professor of Psychology at IU Northwest and Intern at the Crown Point Community Library.
