AI and Human Employment: Risks and Opportunities

AI and Human Employment: Risks and Opportunities

Artificial Intelligence generates unending discussion: are data centers good or bad? Will AI generate mass unemployment? Will AI destroy the human race?

On Wednesday, December 2, 2026, four expert panelists will trade views on the implications for employment (sorry, no discussion of data centers or armageddon – the latter is over our pay grade).

Presented by The Neutral Ground and The Idea Village, this conversation features constructive civic dialogue on a topic of high relevance to entrepreneurship and innovation. Panelists will model respect, curiosity, and the value of friendly disagreement. Come experience a candid, energetic discussion about jobs, human agency, and the choices ahead—with room for optimism, skepticism, and thoughtful debate.Co-Sponsored by The Times-Picayune, Tulane University, and Young Leadership Council
