Artificial Intelligence CIG Book Club Event

Date: March 24, 2026

Time: 1:00 PM EST

Join us for an engaging discussion of Angus Fletcher’s thought-provoking book Primal Intelligence: You Are Smarter Than You Know. Fletcher argues that humans possess innate, non-logical capacities—intuition, imagination, emotion, and common sense—neglected by modern life, which allow for superior creativity and problem-solving beyond AI. Our discussion will focus on how these human capacities can be emphasized and used in educational settings to ensure humans remain at the forefront of thought in the rapidly changing age of AI.
