Please help promote this lecture by encouraging your students to attend—especially if such topics as AI, machine learning, using AI/ML strategies to build for the future are of interest to them. In the past, some faculty have offered extra credit for attending such lectures. I will pass around a sign-in sheet to gather students’ names for you. We appreciate your assistance in making this a well-attended event.
