Hawai'i State Public Library System (HSPLS)

How is artificial intelligence (AI) shaping our world and communities? Join us for “AI & Us,” a facilitated discussion series in partnership with the AI Safety & Awareness Project, happening now through November 28 at select public libraries statewide!

Explore three timely topics through guided discussions and shared learning:

Why AI Is Our Ultimate Test and Greatest Invitation — Watch a presentation by Tristan Harris of the Center for Humane Technology on responsible AI development, followed by a community discussion.

AI and the Future Ahead of Us — Discover how AI works, how it’s used today, and what an AI-driven future could mean for us.

Child Safety & AI — Discuss AI chatbots’ impact on youth, recent safety failures, and efforts to address these concerns. This session covers sensitive topics, including self-harm and suicide, and is not suitable for minors.
