SUMMARY:Globalist Coffeehouse: The Future of AI
DESCRIPTION:We will be meeting in person in the semi-private dining room at the Shoal Creek Saloon\, 909 N. Lamar. This month’s topic is: \nThe future of AI\nArtificial Intelligence\, or AI\, technology has transformed how we live\, study\, what entertainment we enjoy\, and now it’s progressed into our jobs. Organizations that have added machine learning and cognitive interactions to traditional business models and processes can greatly improve user experience and boost productivity. ChatGPT or Google’s Bert for instance\, can produce summary analyses on a range of topics including writing computer code\, producing art\, composing music\, and even providing legal advice all in a matter of minutes to hours. \nAI has been around formally since the 1950’s when it was defined as a machine’s ability to perform a task that would’ve previously required human intelligence. But many are now issuing stark warnings. The co-founders of Center for Humane Technology spoke about their concerns stating that the initial thought of AI is to enrich our society\, cure diseases such as cancer\, climate solutions\, etc. However\, when it becomes an arms race versus actual thorough testing simply to have the machines deployed as fast as possible\, nothing positive will come from it. \nThe Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence warned the public of the risks AI brings and the need for stronger collaboration among the world’s leaders. In March\, a collection of tech officials\, scientists and policymakers signed an open letter calling for a 6-month moratorium on production of new AI models. If the private sector won’t do so voluntarily\, then they want the governments “to step in and institute a moratorium.” \nWe are at the point of a breakthrough technological advancement\, but what does it mean for the future? How will it impact society? With all the “risks” involved\, what role should government oversight play\, if any at all? \nRegister here to join us for what will be a lively discussion. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nFor more details contact:\nEllen Murry\, Globalist Coffeehouse Co-Chair: ellen@wacaustin.org\nPolina Anastassieva\, Globalist Coffeehouse Co-Chair: polina@wacaustin.org
