Teton Talks: Teton Talks: AI in Real Life – Possibility, Practice & Pushback

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it’s already shaping how we work, create, and make decisions. But alongside the excitement comes real questions: What’s actually useful? What’s overhyped? And where should we be cautious?

Panelists will share real-world examples from their work, along with thoughtful perspectives on both the opportunities and the concerns surrounding AI. Designed for a general audience, this session offers an accessible and honest look at how individuals and communities can engage with AI in practical, informed ways. Whether you’re experimenting with AI or still unsure what to make of it, this conversation will meet you where you are.
