TALK DESCRIPTION:
Artificial intelligence – AI – captures our imaginations with its rocketing innovation and surging accessibility. AI-generated text, video, images and voices seem like magic, yet can also be a wolf in sheep’s clothing with incorrect and misleading information. How do we harness this amazing tool, while curbing potential harm? Data scientist John Lawson, who uses AI to predict weather hazards, explores what it means, and the diverse skills, knowledge and precautions needed, to create trustworthy AI.
Free refreshments and hands-on learning activities conducted by student and community groups follow Dr. Lawson's presentation.
Join us for STEM/STEAM learning fun! Admission is FREE.
