(Sunny Wu for NPR)

As artificial intelligence changes and disrupts the workplace, relationships and especially education, its use is also changing traditional metrics of human intelligence. Ahead of JPEF's fifth local EDTalk, we ask the event’s keynote speaker how educators are using AI and preparing for its rapid expansion, even as the technology redefines traditional conceptions of knowledge, understanding and academic achievement.

Guests:

• Rachael Tutwiler Fortune, president of the Jacksonville Public Education Fund.
• Isabelle Hau, executive director of Stanford University’s Accelerator for Learning.

Then, a sprawling multimedia production tackles the epic and emotional history of World War II through photos and personal accounts of famous people from the era, all set to a period soundtrack performed by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra. Featuring Broadway vocalists and starring Carnegie Hall lecturer and New York Historical Society historian John Monsky, it tells the story of America’s involvement in the war, from D-Day to VE Day.

Guests:

• John Monsky, historian and creator of The Eyes of the World.
• Kymberly Wolfson, board member and event co-chair, Wolfson Family Foundation. 

And, a summertime sight in the Northern Hemisphere raises its legendary tail in the night sky. We ask our resident spaceman about the history and magic of Scorpius and how best to view it, as well as why more than 70% of stars in the galaxy — the most common stars in the Milky Way — are essentially invisible to the naked eye.

Guest:

• Eddie Whisler, planetarium director at the Museum of Science & History.
