I believe it is going to change the world more than anything in the history of mankind – even electricity. ~ Kai Fu Lee
Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises to revolutionize human society. AI involves the training of deep-learning algorithms to process massive amounts of data, so as to find subtle patterns that can answer questions.
Within 20 years, approximately 40% of jobs being done by humans are projected to be displaced by AI devices. This has the potential to liberate humans from many burdensome tasks.
This Forum will explore several key questions: What is AI? How does AI work? What can AI do? What are the implications of AI for society, human self-definition, and the jobs of the future? In order to more fully understand AI, and how it works, demonstrations will be provided. Explanations of Neural Networks, High Dimensional Space Visualizations, Algorithms, and Machine Learning will be offered at a beginning level. Our newfound knowledge will allow us to start to understand how Tesla’s self-driving cars operate, how Google and others are developing AI, and how the implementation of AI will be
used in a wide array of fields.
A comment from Kai Fu Lee on the change brought by AI is, “AI will do the analytical thinking, while humans will wrap that analysis in warmth and compassion”.
