“How Generative AI Is Reshaping Our World—And Our Lives”

Speaker – Robert Klitgaard, Claremont Graduate University

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant frontier—it is here, rewriting the rules of work, creativity, decision-making, and human interaction. But as we scramble to integrate AI into everything from education to public policy, a fundamental problem remains: most discussions about AI focus on either hype or fear rather than equipping students, professionals, scholars, and leaders with practical strategies to use it wisely. Instead of offering abstract predictions, Professor Klitgaard will discuss how AI is already reshaping healthcare, business, government, and the arts. Participants will receive a free link to Co-Intelligence Applied: Thirteen Examples of How Generative AI Is Transforming Our World—And Ourselves (February 2025).

Robert Klitgaard is a professor at Claremont Graduate University, where he served as president from 2005-9. Formerly Dean of the Pardee RAND Graduate School and a professor at Harvard and Yale, he consults around the world on government reform and economic strategy. His Tropical Gangsters was named one of the New York Times’ Books of the Century. He is a member of the World Economic Forum Impact Circle on Artificial Intelligence and runs workshops on AI for leaders, evaluators, and professors in the United States, Latin America, and Asia.
