WLURA AGM and presentation on AI

Main floor lounge of the 202 Regina Street building.

The WLURA Annual Meeting is being held on Friday, May 29, at 2:00 p.m., at the 202 Regina Street lounge. The agenda will include the election of the 2026–27 Executive. It can be attended in person at the first floor lounge of 202 Regina, or by Zoom. If you are attending in person, you can come at 1:30 PM for coffee and an opportunity to catch up with fellow retirees.

Preceding the AGM:

“Pay no attention to that AI behind the curtain!” How Artificial Intelligence Is Helping Internet Scammers

Terry Labach will give an overview of the new threats posed by the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools by cybercriminals. He will give a brief overview of current AI capabilities, followed by a comparison of traditional scams and how they’ve become more dangerous when enhanced by AI software. He’ll conclude with some suggestions on protecting your privacy and your wallet in the face of new threats.

This will not be a technical talk, and will be useful for any typical Internet user.

The Annual General Meeting will follow this talk, including the election of the Executive.

Lots of parking available. Bring a friend. Enjoy good company!
