AI+TECH—February 25, 2015
Machines that can “see,” “speak,” and “think” were once the stuff of sci-fi fantasies, but they are common parts of our everyday world. Siri allows us to have conversations with computers and Facebook can recognize us in photographs. We’re even starting to see self-driving cars share the roads with us. Artificial Intelligence research is advancing rapidly and is generating plenty of interest, excitement, and fear. What are the most transformative uses of AI being developed right now? How can we ensure the technology is used responsibly? And what does responsible use even mean? Join us for AI+TECH, to hear from leading thinkers and makers working on AI technology and AI-issues today.
