Shannon Vallor in conversation with John Zerilli: A Citizen's Guide to Artificial Intelligence.
A video recording of a Cafe Culture North East event originally live streamed on 20/04/2021.
Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, has generated a staggering amount of hype in the past several years. Is it the game-changer it’s been cracked up to be? If so, how is it changing the game? How is it likely to affect us as customers, tenants, aspiring homeowners, students, educators, patients, clients, prison inmates, members of ethnic and sexual minorities, and voters in liberal democracies?
This conversation between two philosophers of Artificial Intelligence will be of interest to anyone interested in understanding the moral, legal, political, and economic stakes of the use of AI systems in a connected human world increasingly, though often unwittingly, entangled in such technologies.
