IF YOU CAN’T BEAT ‘EM, JOIN ‘EM: THE FUTURE OF AUGMENTED INTELLIGENCE

Saturday, June 3, 2017
1:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Computers are getting smarter and more creative, offering spectacular possibilities to improve the human condition. There’s a call to redefine Artificial Intelligence as Augmented Intelligence, to emphasize the potential of humans working with AI as opposed to being replaced by AI. Join AI experts, data scientists, engineers, and ethicists as they explore how we can work alongside machines, when we should trust machines to make cognitive decisions, and how all of society can benefit from the productive and financial gains promised by advances in AI.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.
