What would they say to someone who thinks art is not important or necessary in today’s world? What will the impact of AI be on art, and what could it mean—practically, commercially, and philosophically—in the future? How might AI affect our understanding of what it means to be “creative”?

3–4 p.m. The Keys to Living Well as We Age: A Geriatrician’s Perspective
We’re all a few years older than we were in 1979 (yes, even you…), so it’s no surprise that the topic of healthy aging is of paramount importance to most of us. Did you know that more than 50 percent of all adults 65 and over have one chronic disease, and 25 percent have two or more? What can one do to mitigate the progression of existing chronic diseases while preventing new ones from developing? Our classmate Dr. Rob Scheiber will answer these questions and more in an interactive presentation, focused on the concerns and questions of those in attendance. He will share the latest from the medical literature, plus lessons learned from his many, honored, older patients and role models. Good medical care is essential to healthy aging, but it only accounts for 10% of health outcomes, so what accounts for the other 90 percent? What can you do to promote your own healthy aging and live your best life? Step one? Don’t miss this presentation!
