AI and Human Employment: Risks and Opportunities

​AI and Human Employment: Risks and Opportunities

​Artificial Intelligence generates unending discussion: are data centers good or bad? Will AI generate mass unemployment? Will AI destroy the human race?

​On Wednesday, December 2, 2026, four expert panelists will trade views on the implications for employment (sorry, no discussion of data centers or armageddon – the latter is over our pay grade).

​Presented by The Neutral Ground and The Idea Village, this conversation features constructive civic dialogue on a topic of high relevance to entrepreneurship and innovation. Panelists will model respect, curiosity, and the value of friendly disagreement. Come experience a candid, energetic discussion about jobs, human agency, and the choices ahead—with room for optimism, skepticism, and thoughtful debate.
