Artificial intelligence is already shaping how we learn, work, create and understand information. Chicagoans deserve a trusted place to explore what that means.

Join Chicago Public Library for CHI+AI, a day-long summit bringing together leaders, practitioners, educators and community voices to explore the impact and future of artificial intelligence in Chicago.

 

Why CHI+AI

Public libraries have always helped people navigate changes in information and technology. Today, that role includes helping Chicagoans understand AI, evaluate its impact and make informed decisions about whether and how they choose to use it.

CHI+AI creates space for learning, questioning and conversation. Through discussions, demonstrations and hands-on experiences, attendees can explore the opportunities, challenges and broader implications of AI.

AI literacy means having the knowledge to understand, question and decide for yourself.
