##### Featuring 

Featuring the director **James Shelley**; and **Elizabeth Cobbs**, Professor and Melbern G. Glasscock Chair in American History, Texas A&M, senior fellow, Hoover Institution at Stanford University; moderated by **Matthew Feeney**, Director, Project on Emerging Technologies, Cato Institute. 

The perceived threat of artificial intelligence (AI) to the American workforce and society more broadly has become a common topic of discussion among policymakers, academics, and the wider public. But is AI a threat? And if so, are there appropriate policy solutions? History is replete with examples of disruption caused by past technological advances. Are the lessons from those advances applicable to AI? These are just some of the questions addressed by the PBS television documentary *CyberWork and the American Dream*.

Please join us for a special screening of *CyberWork and the American Dream* followed by a discussion of these important issues.
