Patti Smith and a discussion about women and artificial intelligence are among the programs set today for The Ebell of Los Angeles\u2019 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Garc\u00eda, founder of Ingrained.ai, will lead a lunchtime discussion Sept. 14 about the role women can play in developing and shaping artificial intelligence, according to The Ebell. Smith will appear that evening for \u201cAn Evening of Songs and Stories,\u201d presented with Writers Bloc.<\/p>\n

Smith will perform songs and share stories connected to her memoir, \u201cBread of Angels,\u201d accompanied by musicians Jackson Smith and Tony Shanahan, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor more than 130 years, The Ebell has been shaped by women who were willing to make bold choices, speak up and create opportunities that did not exist before them,\u201d Ebell CEO Stacy Brightman said. \u201cThat same spirit is at the heart of this season.\u201d<\/p>\n
