Description

Quest Science Center's new Quest on Stage speaker series kicks off its next event with The AI Revolution, featuring Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, hosts of Hard Fork, the acclaimed New York Times podcast that explores the world of technology, on Friday, August 14 at the Bankhead Theater in Livermore.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we work, learn, communicate, create, and make decisions. During this engaging live conversation, Roose and Newton will cover the current AI landscape and help audiences separate what's real from what's hype, explore how AI is influencing everyday life, examining the opportunities and challenges shaping our future.

Following the sold-out success of The Resilient Brain on June 23 at the Bankhead Theater, featuring Stanford University neurologist Dr. Sharon J. Sha, The AI Revolution continues Quest on Stage's commitment to exploring timely scientific and technological topics that have local relevancy.  

The evening will include a special opportunity to connect the global conversation around AI with the impact on scientific research taking place at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) with guest Brian Giera, Associate Program Director for Data Science, AI, and Manufacturing at LLNL. Giera will share how AI is transforming scientific research and accelerating discoveries that could shape the future of energy, medicine, engineering, national security and beyond. The program will close with substantial time for audience Q&A.
