What happens when we let machines make decisions for us: about what we see, who we meet, what we’re worth?
About this Event

Join Concordia’s Jurist-in-Residence, Morton S. Minc, as he welcomes , lawyer and strategic advisor at Kesserwan Arteau, for a conversation about how artificial intelligence is shaping our choices, our relationships and our future.

Would you want to live in a world where every action is tracked, compiled into a social score, and used to limit your options: from the jobs you can apply for, to where you can live, to how many children you should raise?

Where systems predict who will be “healthier” and more “successful,” and funnel resources toward them. Where you no longer need to work (or think), because machines do it for you. Where the art that surrounds you is generated by robots to match your tastes and current mood?

Where you never have to face disagreement, because you’re only around people who already agree with you: on everything, from the profound to the trivial.

And if your answer is no: what can you do today to prevent this future from becoming your reality?

This talk will explore the choices being made right now, the paths they are opening or closing, and how we can collectively shape the role of AI in our world as it begins to shape us.

Open to: Students in the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, law students, and the general public interested in cybersecurity, crisis management, and digital risk.
