"Artificial intelligence". It's a term we've all heard. It powers so many of the apps, tools, and technologies we use everyday. But few of us really understand AI: its origins, its influence, its biases.

Which begs the question: How do we prepare for a world driven by AI? How do we understand its possibilities — and its consequences?

Explore these questions (and more) at this free, online event in honor of Black History Month, brought to you by IBM’s Open P-TECH and Women Make Movies.
