AI Hype vs. Reality: Navigating Safety, Ethics, and Data Protection

Thursday, March 27, 2025

How should we think about AI in our own lives? What do we need to know about its impact on creativity, employment, or the environment? Last Thursday’s Merrill Series panel brought together alumni/ae experts for a dynamic discussion on AI's opportunities and risks. We’re grateful to all who attended, asked thoughtful questions, and continued the conversation throughout the reception. Events like these embody the Merrill Series’ spirit: bringing our community together to explore complex ideas with curiosity and depth.
