The Artificial Intelligence (R)Evolution Artificial Intelligence (AI) has dominated many news cycles over the past 2 years, from its impact on the stock market, to the geopolitical balance in the world, as well as the impact it will have on our health and well being. Our speaker, Dr. Jonathan Schaeffer Professor Emeritus Computing Science University of Alberta, will explore both the dark side and the bright side of this new computing environment. He will explain how AI poses threats that have the same potential of harm as biological warfare weapons or atomic weapons is a sobering consideration. On the other hand, there is a great deal of excitement about the good that can come from AI if society can mitigate the dangers and costs. |
