Spring Lecture: Jennifer Steele, Resilience in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Jennifer Steele, Resilience in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
March 6
1:30 PM
In-Person at OLLI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a “future” scenario—it is unfolding in real time, raising urgent questions about the place of humans in the age of automation. Dr. Jennifer L. Steele, a professor in American University’s School of Education and affiliate faculty in Public Administration and Policy, will explain what we mean by “AI,” what makes it different from other kinds of machines, and how it is reshaping the modern economy. Drawing on her research on educational opportunity, school-to-workforce transitions, and the labor market effects of AI—as well as her experience as a former RAND policy researcher and K–12 teacher—she will also discuss the skills we can strengthen as thinkers, mentors, and citizens to remain resilient in a rapidly shifting world.
