Please join the Cornell community in welcoming award-winning author and longtime educator Cheryl Strauss Einhorn ’91 as she discusses the seminal concepts from her latest book, The Human Edge: Smarter Decisions in the Age of AI. The book explores how we can use AI to improve complex decision-making while augmenting – instead of replacing – our individual judgment.

Rather than treating AI as a trusted authority or avoiding it entirely, The Human Edge challenges us to engage with the technology through skepticism, curiosity, and creativity. While AI’s capabilities will continue to evolve, understanding the irreplaceable elements of human cognition allows us to expand what’s possible without sacrificing speed, ethics, or agency – and, ultimately, find the best path forward.

Join us for what promises to be an engaging evening of ideas and conversation. Seating is limited, so please register early.
