July 23, 2024 - Joe Danielewicz gave us a very interesting presentation related to Artificial Intelligence (AI). He made his presentation relevant to Rotary beginning with "Artificial Intelligence & the Rotary 4-way test. He then went on to talk about "Utilize AI to promote Human Flourishing". He talked about AI needing regulation like the FDA and talked about AI governance. Joe's presentation resulted in many questions from the members. Joe concluded by giving his latest book to our newest member, Steve. His book is titled "The Ethos of Artificial Intelligence - Using AI to promote the good life while avoiding harm". His talk is summarized in a handout that is available from our club upon request. Many thanks Joe for an excellent presentation!

We ensure the more than 23% of Arizona adults with developmental or physical disabilities have the support and opportunities they need to live life to the fullest. From helping adults with disabilities develop critical life skills to guiding them through career training with the goal of independent employment, we offer Arizonians with disabilities the tools they need to make their own choices, improve their abilities and gain control of their lives.
