Are We Really Going to Live Forever? The Promises and Perils of Artificial Intelligence
From the Twilight Zone and Star Trek to George Orwell’s 1984, artists have been helping us imagine artificial intelligence (AI) for decades. Now, technology has caught up to what artists have been dreaming up, and AI is already transforming the way we live, work, and play.
What are the moral implications of AI?
As we progress in this field, how do we know what makes us human vs machine?
What are our national security concerns for the future?
SAIC and Illinois Humanities invite you to join a panel of experts in the fields of art, science, theology, national security, and tech as they provide their insights on the promises and perils of AI and explore the answers to these questions.
This event is free and open to the public. Reserve your seat: SAICevents@saic.edu.For more information, visit ilhumanities.org/ai.
