AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies are fundamentally transforming our daily lives. They promise to transform the workplace, shift labor markets, redefine economies. How did we get here, and where are we going? This talk will first provide an overview of AI, its history, and its accomplishment. Then, it will focus on specific AI technologies that are changing our daily experiences, including new ethics-centered questions we are starting to ask. What does the future hold? What we do we expect? What opportunities and dangers loom in the horizon of our digital society? Our speaker is Dr. Amarda Shehu from George Mason University’s Speakers Bureau.
