Keith Intro Schools

I’d like to introduce you to our host for our program today (tonight): Keith McDonald. Keith likes to joke that he can predict the future – the not too distant future mind you – but the future, in the sense that he’s been talking about AI long before it was popular to do so. And, many of his thoughts and predictions have come true – including how teachers, parents and students will be learning about Artificial Intelligence – how AI is changing everything around us – and how AI would become one of the most important subjects to understand in this decade. His background is in communications, Information Technology and teaching along with performing arts and music. All of this he brings to us right now in what promises to be one of the most interesting presentations this year. And with that, please say hello to Keith McDonald.
