Join Bruin Affiliates for our March Luncheon! This month's guest speaker is Peter Cipkowski, Ed.D. Understanding AI in Our Lives Artificial Intelligence can sound like a leap into the unknown—but it is also the latest chapter in humanity’s long history of invention and adaptation. This lecture is designed especially for beginners and requires no technical background or prior experience. Its goal is to demystify how AI works in plain language—where it came from, how it learns and makes decisions, and why it matters—while offering concrete, real-world examples of how AI is already shaping everyday life, from writing and art to healthcare, education, entertainment and public life. Peter Cipkowski is a political and literary historian with more than three decades of experience in educational technology, having worked with leading publishers and start-ups to develop adaptive learning tools and programs for diverse audiences. He serves as President of the Willa Cather Foundation, leading national initiatives that advance Cather’s legacy and expand educational and public humanities programming. He holds a doctorate from the University of Southern California, and has taught about AI through the UCLA Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

A Face in the Crowd U.S., 1957 “What do I get out of this?” asks Andy Griffith’s “Lonesome” Rhodes of Patricia Neil’s radio producer touring an Arkansas jail for local musical talent. In his rise to fame and influence, Rhodes’ narcissistic motivation remains the same throughout A Face in the Crowd, no matter what Everyman platitudes people project on him. Radio gets him started but television is the new medium that vaults him to the pinnacle of political power. With McCarthyism still in the air, director Elia Kazan and screenwriter Budd Schulberg pitch a darker take on populism than Frank Capra’s in Meet Doe Joe, but they still share a faith in the American public’s natural resistance to authoritarian appeals that, for all the film’s prophetic bone fides, feels naive in retrospect.—Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm 35mm, b&w, 126 min.
