The Implications of Artificial Intelligence
In March we’ll be discussing The Implications of Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is already making decisions that affect who receives bail, which cancer scans get flagged, and how children are taught. Some of us are using these tools every day without fully understanding what they are or how they work.
Will they make our lives easier? Or quietly steer us in directions we haven’t chosen? Can we trust what they tell us? Where have they already caused real harm, and where have they produced genuine breakthroughs?
We’ll be discussing how these systems developed and what they actually do under the hood, before turning to the practical question of what we should all be aware of as we increasingly rely on them — at work, at home, and in the decisions that shape our lives.
