Will AI Replace Us?

A Panel on AI and the Future of Work

Wednesday, February 4, 2026, 12:30–1:30pm, Konover Auditorium
The event will also be livestreamed.

It’s a question shared by students, staff and faculty: How will Artificial Intelligence shape our workplaces?

Join us for a conversation with experts who are shaping AI policy, practice, and regulation: Ted Laskaris, Interim Chief Information Officer, UConn; CT State Senator James Maroney; and Sachin S. Pandya, Roger Sherman Professor of Law, UConn. Our panelists will share their expertise and field questions from UConn staff, faculty, and students to explore practical questions about workplace transformation, protection, and possibility in the age of AI.

Together, we’ll consider how we can move beyond speculation to understand what AI actually means for the work we do—and the relationships that make that work meaningful.
