SUMMARY:Faculty & Staff Book Club: I\, Human
DESCRIPTION:For the 2025-2026 academic year\, Provost Christine Siegel has 
 invited all of us at the university to engage in a shared conversation and 
 reflection on the topic of what it means to be authentically human in a 
 world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). In response to 
 her challenge to us to foster curiosity\, critical thinking\, and a deeper 
 understanding of how we can thrive in our rapidly changing world\, the 
 Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) and the DiMenna-Nyselius Library are 
 pleased to announce a two-part Book Talk on I\, Human: AI\, automation\, 
 and the quest to reclaim what makes us unique\, by Tomas 
 Chamorro-Premuzic\, one of the three books that comprise this year’s 
 Common Read Assignment for the Class of 2029. The discussions will take 
 place on Wednesday\, September 24\, from 3:30 to 4:30 pm\, and on Monday\, 
 October 20\, from 11 am to noon. We invite all faculty and staff to join us 
 for what’s certain to be a fascinating set of conversations. This second 
 discussion\, on Oct. 20th\, will cover Chapters 5-8. Both sessions will 
 take place on campus with a Zoom link provided for individuals who wish to 
 join remotely.  \n\nThe Library and CAE will provide coffee\, tea\, and 
 snacks to fuel the discussion\, and we welcome people with all views on AI 
 to come and share your perspectives. The book is available to borrow in 
 print\, digital\, and audio formats at the Library (access here)\, as well 
 as being available for purchase at the Stag Spirit Shop in the BCC. We look 
 forward to seeing you there!
