Suddenly, AI is everywhere. It's new (not really), it's cool (often), and it's scary (sometimes). We'll talk about what AI is and what it isn't, the major categories/technologies used in AI, its near-term applications, and speculate a bit on where it's going. We'll talk about these questions:
- How can I use AI tools in my everyday life? - What does AI mean in an academic environment? - For artists and writers, how does AI affect my property and rights? - What aspects of AI should I REALLY be afraid of? Can I do anything about them?
This session will be an overview and introduction. We won't go into detail on these topics, but attendees will be provided with not-very-technical references and resources for further investigation.
Ed is a strategist and Chief Technology Officer with over 40 years of experience across a wide range of industries and technologies. He's currently CTO of a blockchain development company and working to integrate AI tools into the product design and development process.
