With the artificial intelligence on the rise, Portland Rising is launching a new program series to demystify this technology and its impact on workers.

The AI program series kicks off with a screening of Valerie Veach's Ghost in the Machine. This documentary digs deep into the history of artificial intelligence, exposing its roots in eugenics while drawing stark connections to Silicon Valley, technofascism, and more. Described in The Wrap as "a radical, necessary, Molotov cocktail of a documentary," this is one you won't want to miss.

Doors open at 6 PM. There will be organizations tabling and light refreshments. The documentary will start at 6:30 and run until about 8:30 PM. Discussion to follow.
