    Beginning tomorrow, our library is hosting a symposium titled "Exploring the Gadgets & Gizmos in Your AI Toolkit".  The first talk is tomorrow, 10/01 and they continue weekly on Wednesdays at 12 PM EST through 11/12. This fall's series will highlight various topics ranging from Google Gemini, to the broader legal implications of using generative AI, and much more! These talks are open to anyone! Here is the full list of speakers and registration information.

    Hello, I would love to attend, but the timing is tricky for me. Will there be recordings made available?
