Braver Bridge Builders

Research shows that curiosity about the views of others can open the mind, reduce fears, encourage self-awareness and promote humility. Media and culture often promote the idea that we should view those who disagree with us as enemies or individuals not worth talking to.

Join us for a structured conversation from the Living Room Conversations (https://livingroomconversations.org/) organization that will help us experience being more curious and less furious about "those people" on the other side.

Please feel free to bring a lunch or meet afterwards at a local restaurant.

Santa Fe Debate

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) going to greatly improve our lives or does it threaten our very existence?

Proponents of AI argue that it is paving the way for important breakthroughs in healthcare, education, finance, manufacturing and a myriad of other fields. They assert that it has the capacity to increase efficiency and improve decision making, often at scale.

For others, AI raises concerns around ethics, privacy, security, and equality. Will AI cause mass job displacement? Who owns our data in a world with widespread AI? What role does or should our government play? How can we shape the future of AI responsibly?

Bring your ideas and questions to this Braver Angels debate about the benefits and harms of artificial intelligence. We want to know what you think as we debate the resolution:

Resolved: Artificial Intelligence will strengthen human progress.
