About the Presentation:

Artificial Intelligence has been a hot topic with wildly varying views ranging from how it will change our world for the better to how it is going to take over and rule us all. (Those people may have watched too much Sci-Fi.) The answer, as always, is somewhere in between. How will AI impact our world in both good and bad ways? How do we need to think through the ethical questions this technology will present? Should we regulate it or allow the creators to find all kinds of new use cases? In this talk, David Powell, CRO at Liongard, will break down AI in terms that anyone can understand. He won’t tell you what to think, but he will tell you what to think about in this engaging and informative session.
