October: Artificial Intelligence
Details
As AI develops as a field and we learn more about the technology and its possibilities, it's also becoming more controversial. I'd love to discuss what AI is, what it can and can't currently do, and our hopes/fears for it's uses in the future.
Please listen to three-ish of the below:
Americans are getting less trustful of Artificial Intelligence (10 min)
New technologies always scare us. Is AI any different? (48 min)
How does machine bias work? (31 min)
Is AI more biased than humans? (9 min)
Can AI make a hit song? (60 min)
How UPS is using AI to fight package theft (8 min)
Science VS: Is AI out of control? (42 min)
Spotlight on AI: What would it take for this to go well (44 min)
(I use Google Podcasts, but they should be available in any podcast app)
It will be interesting to hear about your own experiences with AI and whether these alter your perspective!
Please come a little early to make your café purchase(s). I'll have a sign on a table nearby and we can gather tables as needed. The store closes at 9pm, so I'll set an alarm for 8:45 for closing comments.
