In the tech world, artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of today’s hottest topics with enormous amounts of funding being channeled towards developing machines capable of intelligent behavior. After years of steady but slow progress, a series of breakthroughs in the research community and private industry have recently garnered a lot of attention for this field.

Today’s AI is confined to narrow, specific tasks, and isn’t anything like the general, adaptable intelligence that humans exhibit. Despite this, AI’s influence on the world is growing. The rate of progress we have seen will have broad implications for a variety of fields including healthcare, agriculture, education, manufacturing, image and voice-recognition, transportation, entertainment, and much more.

In education, AI has the potential to help teachers customize instruction for each student’s needs. And, of course, AI plays a key role in self-driving vehicles, which have the potential to save thousands of lives, as well as in unmanned aircraft systems, which may transform global transportation, logistics systems, and countless other industries over the coming decades.

Like any transformative technology, just looking at the upside of artificial intelligence does not give us the full picture. It also comes with a challenging downside ranging from technological unemployment to economic and regulatory issues. 

Join us as we take an in-depth look at the far-reaching implications of artificial intelligence and the future.
