As an expert on democracy and authoritarianism, Levitsky will explore the challenges facing the U.S. as we transition toward a multiracial democracy and what reforms are needed to safeguard our political system. 🗣️ Audience Q&A will follow the presentation. 🎟️ Get your tickets now at capecodspeakers.org.

Our first Tech & Tonic was a success! Thanks to all who came out to our Thursday night social to learn more about the work we're doing to strengthen technology in the region, and to meet others who share a common interest in technology and the positive impacts it can have in our lives and our communities. If you missed the event, but are interested in getting involved with the Tech Council, email us at info@cctechcouncil.org.

Yesterday, ArtifexAI's Russ W. spoke to the Tech Council about how artificial intelligence can serve as a transformative tool for municipal leaders and boards to make decisions around public policy. It was a fascinating talk about how AI can empower cities and towns in the work they are doing in tackling significant issues like housing, water quality, and infrastructure. We're grateful to Russ for sharing his insight on how AI can benefit communities like ours on Cape Cod!

On Friday, Russ W. will show how AI and data technology can be used to improve policies to address local issues. Earlier this year, Russ spoke at Massachusetts Institute of Technology about how municipalities can build smarter communities using AI: https://lnkd.in/erGngbSr. Link in comment to register for Friday's talk at Cape Cod Community College.

If you're at all interested in technology, you'll want to join us for a fun-filled evening of socializing, light networking, and some tech talk. Join us (and bring a friend or a colleague) for our first-ever Tech & Tonic night at Sam Diego's in Hyannis!

"We often think AI is just for big cities like Boston or San Francisco, but its impact could be even more profound in smaller communities like ours on the Cape," ArtifexAI CEO Russ W. shared with us. And one week from today, Russ will show how artificial intelligence can be used to address important community challenges, from wastewater to infrastructure to housing, at our First Friday at Cape Cod Community College.
