Effective Altruism Miami—Where is AI in 2026 and Where is it Going?

Join us for a free, public workshop—no technical background needed—courtesy of the AI Safety Awareness Foundation!

​​​​​​​​​In just the past 8 months, AI has advanced at a pace that stunned even leading experts. These systems aren’t science fiction anymore—they’re reshaping work, relationships, and even crime in real time.

​​​​​​​​​This workshop explores where AI may be in the next 1–5 years and what that means for your daily life. Together, we’ll tackle urgent questions like:

  • ​​​​​​​​​Jobs: Could AI lead to mass unemployment—or entirely new kinds of work?

  • ​​​​​​​​​Crime: How might AI supercharge scams, hacking, and even physical crime?

  • ​​​​​​​​​Companions: Will people form deep emotional bonds—or even romantic relationships—with AI assistants?

  • ​​​​​​​​​Society: How do top researchers think these trends will shape our future?

When: Saturday, April 18 from 1-3:30 p.m.

Where: Coconut Grove Branch Library @ 2875 McFarlane Rd, Miami, FL 33133

  • We will be in the Adult Reading Room at a table with an “EA Miami” sign.

  • If you get lost, please ask the librarian to direct you to the EA Miami meeting
