SUMMARY:AI in 2022: A Look at the Power\, Potential\, and Perils
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Steve will give an introduction to AI for non-practitioners and then highlight current use cases in computer vision\, natural language processing\, time series forecasting\, anomaly detection\, reinforcement learning\, and recommender systems where AI-based systems are already performing well or offer significant promise to do so in the near future. Some key examples include drug discovery\, robotics\, language understanding\, climate change mitigation\, supply chain optimization\, and pandemic modeling.\n​\nHe will also discuss the significant risks of AI systems related to bias\, fairness\, privacy\, fraud\, cybersecurity\, and misinformation/disinformation and then the current efforts in algorithmic accountability and AI ethics to minimize negative impacts or harms. Steve will share some very recent disinformation research results related to COVID and the Spotify/Joe Rogan controversy.\n​\nThere will be plenty of accessible content for those newer to AI as well as pointers to technical details for those with strong AI backgrounds who want to learn about key recent research developments. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:An AI Discussion on Fairness\, Responsibility\, Bias\, and Other Ethical Issues
DESCRIPTION:AI is changing the world in which we live\, work\, learn and play\, permeating our lives and jobs and our devices and places\, and enabling innovations and discoveries in research and industry. However\, this huge adoption of AI — both for support of human decisions and for completely autonomous decisions — in all aspects of society presents real risks as well as transformative potential. \nIn placing our human trust in such powerful learning and decision-making systems\, there is much to consider to ensure fairness. AI itself isn’t fair or unfair\, but as the human developers\, implementors\, and beneficiaries\, we must understand how to promote fairness in how they are trained and how they operate so that there is no accidental\, unfair bias\, exclusion\, or other negative impact to any person or group of persons. \nJoin us as Tina Lassiter leads a discussion on the ethical implications and considerations of AI. No prior AI expertise is necessary\, as this discussion will focus on the human issues in ensuring fairness in the use of AI\, and everyone is encourage to contribute! \nREGISTER NOW
