Artificial Intelligence: Threat or Gift?

Tues, Feb. 10th (5:30 PM - 7:30 PM) | Community Commons 2600

The rapid development of Al, growing investment in Al technologies, its differential impacts, and expanding reliance on large language models have sparked important questions: Is Al harmful, increasing inequality and an overreliance on technology? Or is it a tool expanding access, efficiency, and creativity? How do our experiences shape differing views? Join us in small table dialogues around how Al is shaping education, labor, knowledge production, and everyday life.

Fundraising for Food Pantry

Food Pantry Fundraiser

Food insecurity affects millions of college students nationwide, including right here at DU. The DU Food Pantry offers weekly access to fresh and shelf-stable groceries for anyone with an active DU ID, ensuring students can focus on learning, not on where their next meal will come from. The Pantry is entirely donor-funded, and your contribution directly purchases high-demand items for our guests. Through our partnership with Food Bank of the Rockies, financial gifts go further helping us purchase fresh, usable food at a lower cost and reduce waste from expired donations. As the need grows, so does our commitment to meeting it, and we can't do it without you. Join us in supporting DU students today. Your gift fuels health, security, and academic success.
