If you ever find yourself in Chicago the second Saturday of the
month, and you have a craving for some Torsk, the solution may be a visit
to the Chicago Torske Klub. -
Stavanger Aftenblad - 26 May 2006
Welcome to the Chicago Torske Klub site. We will update this monthly for news and events
September 12, 2026 - Restart the Luncheon - Artificial Intelligence
Please join us for our first meeting of our new Torske Klub season. Our speaker is our boss Ken Larson reviewing the history and movement toward singularity in Artificial Intelligence. What's that? Join us and find out.
In a world where artificial intelligence is advancing faster than most of us can track, understanding where it came from and where it might be headed has never been more essential. Our presentation, The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence: From Foundations to Future Horizons, takes audiences on a clear, engaging journey through seven decades of progress.
The presentation was prepared by Grok, Claude and ChatGPT. ChatCpt was offered the opportunity to present but deferred it to our boss Ken Larson.
