Artificial Intelligence and You, with Peter Scott
Details
Peter Scott has just written Artificial Intelligence and You, a book that tackles the same theme as his weekly podcast: helping people from all walks of life get useful understanding of what AI means to them.
In this London Futurists webinar, Peter will share some lessons and insights from his extensive experience in discussing the the future of AI with people in all walks of life. In particular: in communicating about the promise and peril of AI with general audiences, what are the most important leverage points, misunderstandings, fascinations, and missed opportunities?
The webinar will span the gamut of the subtitle of his book: What AI Means for Your Life, Your Work, and Your World. There will be references to autonomous weapons, self-driving vehicles, neuroscience, current topics in AI ethics, and above all, how we should think about AI.

A Master’s degree in computer science from Cambridge University led Peter to spend more than thirty years working for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, helping advance the exploration of space. A parallel pursuit of the human development field as a certified coach positioned him to recognize and address technological disruption. The births of his children brought him into a mission: to help people understand, use, and advance AI for the betterment of all. He has given TEDx talks, and spoken to audiences as diverse as transformational leaders, executives, and British parliamentarians.
In 2017 he founded the Next Wave Institute, which coaches clients to become resilient to exponential disruption. In 2020 he started the Artificial Intelligence and You podcast, bringing expert guests as diverse as politicians, CEOs, philosophers, developers, and artists to help audiences understand this incredibly complex thing called AI. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two daughters.
