Knowledge Cafe 4 - Intelligent Machines and Network Analysis

How good are you at working with intelligent machines?

Our technologies are an extension of us. We have now crossed over to technologies smarter than some of us, but not all of us.

In this presentation Victoria G. Axelrod will give an overview of current technology with an emphasis on the questions we need to be asking to intentionally shape a future already augmented by smart machines and algorithms. Utilizing “systems thinking” and network analysis will be central to framing the discussion.
