Are We Really Going to Live Forever? The Promises and Perils of Artificial Intelligence
ISC is thrilled to partner with the School of the Art Institute and Illinois Humanities for a program on the promises and perils of artificial intelligence (AI). From the Twilight Zone and Star Trek to George Orwell’s 1984, artists have been helping us imagine artificial intelligence (AI) for decades. Now, technology has caught up to what artists have been dreaming up, and AI is already transforming the way we live, work, and play. You are invited to hear a terrific panel of experts in the fields of art, science, theology, national security, and tech provide their insights on the promises and perils of AI and explore the answers to these questions.
- What are the moral implications of AI?
- As we progress in this field, how do we know what makes us human vs. machine?
- What are our national security concerns for the future?
This event is FREE and open to the public, though seating is limited.
RESERVE YOUR SEAT today by emailing SAICevents@saic.edu.
