Westonite Richard Frisch presents Artificial intelligence: What is it? What is it becoming? Exploring its promise and its perils at the September meeting of the Trumbull PC Users Group of Connecticut.

The talk takes place Thursday, Sept. 11, at 7:45 p.m. at the Trumbull Public Library, 33 Quality Street, Trumbull.

Mr. Frisch explains how the world is suffused with artificial intelligence (AI) agents. AI helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the smart in your smartphone and will soon drive your car. AI makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure, he said.

Artificial intelligence has a dark side, too. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we imagine, Mr. Frisch said.

Participants will learn more about what AI is doing today and what it may become tomorrow.

Mr. Frischs previous presentations to TCPUG were Charles Babbage: The Man Who Invented the Computer (2012), and Apples Post-PC Era Explained (2011).

Mr. Frisch is the chief technology officer for Global Strategy Group, a national public affairs firm, and for Karlinsky LLC, a New York City-based law firm. He also runs RHFtech, a tech support firm for small businesses and Connecticut municipalities. He is a past president of FCUG and an active member of CTPC, making frequent presentations and running the CTPC Random Access meeting program.

Mr. Frisch and his family have lived in Weston since 1987.
