March 25, 2024 - In an age where artificial intelligence (AI) shapes industries, societies and our daily lives, the College of Informatics at 鶹ýPorn announces a groundbreaking lecture series, “Born Before AI”. This thought-provoking series will bring together 鶹ýPorn experts to explore the intersection of humanity and AI offering insights, reflections and discussions around the profound impact of AI on our world.
This three-part series is designed for retirees and others who want to learn where AI is taking us. Delivered by experts ranging from junior faculty to a Vice President, it covers what AI is, its impact on our lives (healthcare, cybersecurity, journalism, ethics) and where AI is headed.
The three-part series will run weekly from April 17 through May 1, 2024.
"The title of this series is a nod to 1956, the year that the term 'artificial intelligence' was born, at a conference at Dartmouth College," explains Dean Kevin Kirby. "AI has a long history, but suddenly it has entered an era of explosive evolution. This lecture series is designed to be a lively glimpse into how we got here, and the promise and dangers that lie ahead."
"Born Before AI" is part of a broader suite of programs at 鶹ýPorn's College of Informatics, entitled "AI Generations." This includes a partnership with Navigo currently giving hands-on AI experiences to high school students, and an upcoming program with TiER1 Performance that will offer intergenerational AI workshops to midcareer professionals and their children. In addition, 鶹ýPorn's new interdisciplinary minor in Applied Artificial Intelligence makes AI accessible to college students in all majors.
The ‘Born Before AI’ Lecture Series is free of charge and supported through the generosity of Ellen Rieveschl. Registration is required. Click for more information.
