Getting Out of the Dark on AI

Getting Out of the Dark on AI

Thu Nov 21, 2024 7:00 PM

CMA Screening Room,

With the advent of ChatGPT, the floodgates have been opened on AI in our daily lives for almost 2 years now. But was that really the beginning of our public journey with AI? And where, if ever, will this journey end? It’s easy to be intimidated by these powerful programs, but nothing empowers you in the face of uncertainty like knowledge, and that’s exactly what our guest speaker has! Dr. Selmer Bringsjord is professor of Logic, Cognitive Science and Computer Science, and the Director of the Rensselaer Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning lab at RPI, where he and his team conduct research on AI systems. His lab creates models not unlike the ones we are all using on a daily basis without even realizing it. By asking him the right questions about AI and its ever-growing place in our world, we here at the CMA might make one step further out of the dark on AI–and out into the future!
