Read here about our full webinar series on AI in the Classroom
In this webinar, we will discuss how Artificial Intelligence (AI), and especially generative AI (ChatGPT, Dall-E, etc.) is catalyzing a vast transformation of our society. We are seeing the first few effects, such as computer programmers who are twice as productive, graphic arts produced by amateurs, products and songs recommended to us based on our preferences, new drugs discovered, and more. But we have also identified great risks, such as faulty and biased algorithms used to make life-altering decisions, and personalized disinformation used to manipulate people on a massive scale. Some highly respected observers regard AI as a threat to humanity itself. Come to this presentation to explore these issues.
