ETH Global Lecture Series: As If Human
Sir Nigel Shadbolt, a leading AI expert, will deliver a keynote lecture at ETH Zurich on October 23rd. The event, titled "As If Human: Living in the Age of Intelligent Machines," will explore AI's history, current advancements, and the challenges and opportunities presented by today's and future AI systems.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has a decades-long history that exhibits alternating enthusiasm and disillusionment for the field’s scientific insights, technical accomplishments, and socioeconomic impact. Recent achievements and deployments have seen renewed claims for the transformative and disruptive effects of AI. However, there is growing concern about how we regulate and govern AI systems, and how we ensure that such systems align with human values and ethics, how we live alongside these new products of our technical ingenuity.
This Global Lecture will review the history and current state of the art in AI, and consider how we address the challenges and opportunities that current and imminent AI systems present.
