Rob Pegoraro — The Current Tech Landscape, June 2024
About this meeting
Technology journalist Rob Pegoraro joins the Pi for a look at the current technology landscape. The meeting gives members a chance to separate useful developments from the noise and hype surrounding fast-moving topics such as artificial intelligence.
Rob Pegoraro, former Washington Post technology reporter and now a free-lance technology journalist, will visit Washington Apple Pi in June. While we can’t promise this, it is pretty much a sure thing that Rob will talk about the rumor, sound, fury, and hype behind Artificial Intelligence (AI), which proponents and publicists have promised will revolutionize your pillow, your tooth brushing, your ability to see space and time and possibly thought, and make you really want to use that new AI-powered hand soap. Since this is Washington Apple Pi and not a gardening club, he will probably also talk about how Apple intends to use AI, and if he doesn’t intend that, ask. Rob brings together that rare blend of tech enthusiasm, tech skepticism, and literacy that make him well worth listening to — and reading.
