Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

You've seen the headlines and read the news- artificial intelligence, or AI, is here to stay. Thinking of computer systems performing tasks, making decisions, and processing speech sounds like science fiction, yet this technology is already creating seismic shifts in daily life for many. But what exactly is AI? How was it developed? And how does it work? 

Join us for a free presentation about artificial intelligence by UNH Professor of Computer Science Wheeler Ruml. Professor Ruml will provide information about what it is, what it can do, and how it works in our lives.  Bring your questions, there will be time for Q&A! 

Registration is required.
