About this evening
The second of six
What happens when AI becomes the medium between us? In this second evening, I explore the stories we bring to these systems, the relationships we build around them, and the choices we still have.
I gave this lecture on October 21, 2026 in Dundon-Berchtold Auditorium at the University of Portland. My question is how we can use this technology to connect us more deeply to one another.
The rest of the series
Four more evenings
Each evening stands on its own, and the six together make an argument. There is nothing to catch up on and no background required. Recordings are posted here as they go up, and you can have them sent to you by email.
