AI preparedness for a resilient Longmont
Longmont Next Wave helps residents, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and civic leaders understand AI, prepare responsibly, and use new tools in ways that strengthen our community.
Helping Longmont prepare for the AI era, together.
Understand
Accessible public education, briefings, plain-language explainers, reading lists, Q&A sessions, and community conversations.
Prepare
Practical readiness tools covering privacy basics, workforce questions, safe-use practices, risk awareness, and responsible first steps.
Apply
Grounded examples, demos, local case studies, office hours, and low-risk ways to experiment with AI productively.
AI is already changing how people work, learn, communicate, organize, and make decisions. Our goal is to help Longmont respond thoughtfully instead of reacting out of fear or hype.
We are planning public briefings, small community conversations, practical workshops, plain-language explainers, and simple readiness resources for people and organizations who want to understand what is changing and what to do next.
