The Women’s University Club of Seattle Foundation brings Dr. Margaret O’Mara to the stage to share cutting edge information about artificial intelligence. With AI technology concentrated in a few large corporations, we see wealth and power consolidated with the capacity to control and influence the political landscape. Dr. O’Mara will provide historical context and share what history tells us about what might lie ahead for AI, considering both opportunities and challenges for democratic processes and social institutions.

This event is held on Wednesday, October 29th, at the Women’s University Club from 4:00-6:30pm. Purchase tickets for $25 at Eventbrite that includes both the program and a reception immediately following the program with light bites and beverages.

Dr. O’Mara is Professor and the Scott and Dorothy Bullitt Chair of American History and at the University of Washington. She is recognized as one of the nation’s leading scholars on Silicon Valley. Dr. O'Mara is the author of multiple books and her byline has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, WIRED, MIT Technology Review, Foreign Affairs, and other outlets. She is an active public speaker, appears regularly in national and international broadcast media, and has contributed her expertise to the development of Mattel’s American Girl dolls.

This event is made possible by a generous donation to the Women's University Club of Seattle Foundation in memory of Mary Jacobs. For more information, please visit us online at https://www.womensuniversityclub.com/foundation.
