Exploring the Power and Perils of AI: Bell County Museum Hosts Insightful Discussion
For many, artificial intelligence is both thrilling and unnerving—a groundbreaking innovation that reshapes industries while sparking concerns about automation, ethics, and the future of work. On April 4, 2025, the Bell County Museum will dive headfirst into this conversation with a special event titled “The AI Scares Me…But It Is Really Helpful.”
Led by Dr. Hope Koch, a distinguished Professor of Information Systems and Business Analytics at Baylor University, the event offers an interactive exploration of AI’s growing influence on education and the workplace.

Attendees can expect a dynamic discussion covering both the benefits and challenges of AI, from machine learning-driven efficiencies to concerns about job displacement and ethical considerations. Rather than viewing AI solely as a disruptive force, Dr. Koch will highlight strategies for embracing technological advancements while ensuring human creativity and expertise remain central to progress.
Set against the backdrop of the Bell County Museum, this event promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking session for professionals, students, and curious minds alike.
