Cultural Series: How AI Impacts Learning widget with chalkboard brain and eraserSaturday, October 10, 2026
3:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Foundation House
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently claimed that, "a kid growing up today will never be smarter than AI." Are claims like these justified? Cognitive psychologist Aimee Knupsky will share an overview about AI, including examples of how it is being used in our lives, and what research suggests might be the impacts on human learning and behavior. As concerns about data centers required to power AI grow, we will reflect on costs and benefits so we can make informed choices about the incorporation of AI into our daily lives. No previous experience with AI is needed—bring your curiosity and questions!
