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!
Collectively, individually and across kids media we seek to inspire industry excellence through virtual Panels, in-person Events, Workshops, Mentorship, and Research & Insights Reports. We understand the privilege and the responsibility we share as the creative community shaping the minds and hearts of our children … and thereby, our future.
The Childrenās Media Association is a nonprofit organization connecting the dots across all media verticals. With chapters in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and virtual members around the world, we are building the future of the kids and family media industry.
