The study of artificial intelligence (AI) dates to the 1950s, but only in 2023 did AI take the public by storm. The attention began when a program called ChatGPT was released. The result was earthshaking, because the program seemed to exhibit some surprisingly intelligent behaviors, and at the same time illustrated some of the major threats posed by advanced AI systems. The capabilities and implications of systems such as ChatGPT are extremely controversial. Some say they represent an existential threat to humanity, and others say that the capabilities and threats have been wildly exaggerated — that these are still just algorithms processing massive amounts of data from the Internet to create new documents. Similar debates surround new AI systems for image and audio processing. This class will provide an overview of the following topics: the different types of AI and how they work, how AI can improve our lives, what the biggest risks of AI are, and the current AI policy debates.
This is a two session online class on 11/22 & 11/29 that will be followed by an optional in-person discussion session on 12/6 in Gateway Hall, Room 352 for those able to attend.
Concurrent with "Enchanting Northern Norway."
