- The “Godfather of AI” was recently in Erie.
So… why exactly is Geoffrey Hinton called the “Godfather of Artificial Intelligence”?
Earlier this month, Hinton visited Gannon University to speak as part of the Jefferson Educational Society's 2026 Global Summit.
Back in 2012, Hinton and his colleagues developed a breakthrough in artificial neural networks that helped lay the groundwork for many of the AI systems we’re seeing today.
Now, more than a decade later, AI is changing the way we work, create, communicate, and think about the future.
Take a look back at Hinton’s fascinating conversation about this new frontier of technology.
A big thank you to the Jefferson Educational Society for welcoming WQLN to cover the event!
And the 2026 Global Summit isn’t over yet. There are still plenty of opportunities to hear from thought leaders through Nov. 19, when the summit closes with New Yor...

- Description
- Explore the history of 9/11 and the birth of Homeland Security, tracing how the tragedy reshaped national policy forever.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge was at the center of a national crisis. As Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Ridge coordinated the state's response while the country watched in shock. This documentary examines how that single event led President Bush to appoint him to lead the newly formed Office of Homeland Security, marking a pivotal shift in American security policy.
Through firsthand memories from his wife, Michele Ridge, and the colleagues who served alongside him, we trace the personal and political impact of that era. This is an essential look at how one leader's experience during the 9/11 response defined the years that followed.
