Artificial Intelligence. It’s innovative, creative, and can be mind-blowingly accurate. But it’s also unreliable: fraught with misinformation, legal and cultural resistance, and ethical implications. Skeptics also fear potential harm to the job market, education, the climate and more. In this brand-new talk, futurist and higher education specialist Bryan Alexander breaks down what AI is – and isn’t – explaining the different iterations (from “narrow” to “generative” to “super-intelligence”) and forecasting its implications for our future. To what extent will our world be powered by AI? With constant experimentation and new developments almost daily, can we keep up with how fast it’s moving? How will AI be monetized to benefit those creating and marketing this cutting-edge technology? What about the downside, from “deepfakes” and “hallucinations” to inherent biases and potential copyright infringement? Provided by Curiosity University. Run time: 55 minutes. Hosted by the CAST Senior Center, our Documentary Programs provide an endless variety of interesting subjects in a prerecorded, professional film format. They take us across the country and around the world, experiencing and learning about places and people which we wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to experience. Our documentaries are entertaining, informative, and inspiring. They offer a unique and powerful form of storytelling that captures your attention and provoke thought and discussion. Scheduled every Tuesday afternoon, unless noted, at 1pm at the CAST Senior Center, our Documentary Programs are free and open to the public. There are no membership dues, and everyone is welcome to attend. Programming is provided by Curiosity U and other online providers. Check out our documentary program schedule every month and join us. We look forward to seeing you!
