He will joined by Ashley Quinto Powell, founder of myVA Rocks and Terry Heinrichs, co-founder of 18Forty8 Private Wealth.
This interactive session is led through the framework of the Dan & Patti Rashke (TASC) Family Foundation 10-year matching gift to United Way of Dane County, a first-of-its-kind gift that is structured to elevate the nonprofit sector and leverages giving on all levels across the community. This $10-$15 million commitment is not where Dan’s philanthropy started. It’s the culmination of a commitment to philanthropy and social change that is decades in the making.

While we should all strive to retain the skills and attributes that characterize us as being authentically human, it is easy to surrender control to technology that makes our lives easier-- but at what cost? Join two experts in artificial intelligence (AI) and psychology as they lead a presentation through conversation, games, and team activities that explores our reliance on technical automation and AI. We'll identify the possible pitfalls that we may stumble into which arise from an over-reliance on the technology. Ultimately, we will introduce a process that one can use to identify when to use artificial intelligence and when to rely on our own native intelligence. This event is suited for anyone who may have roles in the creation of products and services, analysts and technicians, management, medicine, and education.

About your Facilitators:
Stephanie Elizabeth Beckman, PhD is a faculty member, researcher, and faculty developer at Madison College in Madison, Wisconsin where they have spent over a decade at the intersection of teaching, organizational culture, and human experience. Trained as an international psychologist with a focus on organizations and systems, Stephanie brings a social scientist lens to questions about how technology shapes (and is shaped by) the people who use it. Their work in AI ethics has grown from years of hands-on practice: integrating AI tools critically into writing and faculty development contexts, studying how institutions respond to technological change, and asking hard questions about equity, agency, and what we risk losing when convenience wins.
VG Johnson, PhD is a scientist, educator, and inventor based in Madison, Wisconsin. As the small business owner of Provaitech Corporation, he researched and developed a form of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past quarter century which supports his role as a faculty member at Madison College. In support of his ethics and integrity courses at the College, he uses Provaitech’s Steps for Critical Analysis Practiced course, AI, and a book that he authored together as a learning object to facilitate the instruction of critical thinking applied to everyday scenarios. As a father of four, a military veteran, robotics developer, and roller derby official, his unique perspectives coalesce to liven any topic that might come up in his discussions.
