On Friday, Jan. 12 at 7 p.m., join Dr. Gary Marchant, who will discuss the present and future of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly integrating into all parts of our lives and society, accelerated by the latest category of AI known as generative AI, such as ChatGPT. Many people believe that AI will be the most important advance humans make since the invention of fire and the wheel.
The rapid growth of AI is inevitable given the many benefits it will bring, but AI also presents significant risks to safety, privacy, security, fairness, jobs, and the meaning of being human. Some AI experts have even suggested that AI could lead to human extinction!
This presentation will explain what AI is and why it is so useful and powerful, demonstrating some of the key applications of AI now and in the near future. It will then explain why AI also presents some significant risks, and will suggest some guardrails that could and should be enacted to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing the risks.
