Sassy Science Series Programs will be held on the second Tuesday of each month and will feature a different Lee University professor presenting on a scientific topic. There is a 40 minute program with a questions and answer session following the program. It is a lively and fun time to listen in and get involved in the discussion. Feel free to bring your lunch as you enjoy the program. This group will meet in the Flex Space upstairs.
The June program will be led by Dr. Mike Franklin.
Demystifying AI with Real Talk
Join us as we break through the confusing jargon, overhyped marketing claims, and general science fiction around the real world of Artificial Intelligence to see what it really is, how it will likely impact us personally and professionally, and how we can both understand it and relate it to others. Dr. Franklin is worked in the world of Artificial Intelligence for more than 20 years and is a highly sought-after international speak on the topic. His research includes future AI algorithms and architecture, multi-agent systems and simulations, and applications of AI to better that world. He has worked in the professional word for decades and in academia for the last 15 years helping to make machines work better with humans (and helping humans to better work with machines). He is currently a Professor at Lee University in Cleveland, TN, where he is involved in both Computer Science and Engineering.
