The Future of Intelligence: Are We Ready for AGI?

The Future of Intelligence: Are We Ready for AGI? Imagine a world where machines don’t just assist us—they rival or even surpass human intelligence. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) isn’t just a futuristic fantasy; some experts believe it could become reality in the next 2-5 years. This seismic shift would redefine industries, economies, and even the fabric of human existence itself. Will AGI be humanity’s greatest ally, or its ultimate disruption? Join us for a provocative discussion as leading thinkers unpack the thrilling possibilities—and the existential risks—of machines that can think, learn, and innovate just like us… or better.

Speakers:
Tim Lockie, Founder, The Human Stack
Sarah Myers West, Co-director, AI Now
John Sheppard, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science, Montana State University
Charlie Warzel, Staff Writer, The Atlantic

A 31-acre site—from the former K-Mart location on 7th Avenue to the Gallatin County Fairgrounds—is set to become Bozeman Square: one of Montana’s largest mixed-use developments. With more than 1 million square feet planned, the project will include retail, residential, arts, entertainment, hotels and restaurants. Phase 1 is expected to break ground in 2026.

Happy Monday! October 27, 2025

If you've seen the recent newsletter or social media posts for The Emerson Cultural Center, then you know we are launching two new, exciting spaces in Galleria Hall! We are leaning into the Emerson's schoolhouse history while offering a fun way to celebrate our art faculty, encourage creativity for all ages, and do something a little different in our favorite little hallway.

Faculty Lounge will be a gallery and retail space featuring the work of Emerson Art Education Faculty. Our instructors are all incredible artists, and we want to showcase their talent and offer their work for sale! The space will be themed after a retro teacher's lounge and we are thrilled for it all to come together.

Homeroom will be a free, hands-on creative space for all ages. The intent is to offer materials, inspiration, and space to come and create at the Emerson, outside of the traditional art class structure. The room will be open during our normal business hours.

To fully outfit these rooms, we are looking for a few pieces to really tie it all together.

NEEDED:

Old Textbooks (in decent condition)
Functional, electric typewriter
Functional candy dispenser
Rotary phone or an older phone with a spiral cord
Vintage refrigerator (doesn't need to work as it's wanted for a display)
Pulldown world map
Globe
Clean, tape-free bubble wrap
Coin-operated clothes dryer

If you have any of these and are willing to donate, please send photos to [email protected]

Thank you for supporting the Emerson! Stay tuned for our official grand opening!

On Tuesday, Aug. 5, the Bozeman Police Department and Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office will host their annual National Night Out from 5 to 8 p.m. at Bozeman Pond Park. The free, family-friendly event aims to bring neighborhoods, businesses, and public safety agencies together to promote a positive partnership.

Bozeman Police Community Resource Officer Breanne Sanders, who leads the planning of Bozeman’s National Night Out, emphasized the importance of the event. "National Night Out is an opportunity for everyone in the area to connect with the police department in a positive, relaxed setting," said Officer Sanders. "Our goal is to build trust and understanding between residents and law enforcement, creating a safer and more unified Bozeman. We want everyone to feel welcome, engaged, and informed about the resources available to them."

The event will feature a variety of activities for all ages, including live demonstrations, equipment tours, and face painting. More than a dozen agencies will be in attendance, with everything from fire engines to helicopters on display. Thanks to the Bozeman Police Foundation and Gallatin County Public Safety Foundation, there will be free food and snow cones for the first 400 attendees.

Parking will be available on the street and the event will be located on the south side of the park.

"We encourage everyone to come out, meet your neighbors, and enjoy a night of fun and community spirit,” added Officer Sanders.
