Program Description
Details
Artificial Intelligence has been making waves in both technology circles and out in the wider world – but what can it do? How is it developed and who regulates it? What are the ethical implications of computers making data-based decisions on their own? And where does all that data come from? Questions, questions, and none of them simple!
Join us for a presentation by John Weaver, a nationally recognized author and legal professional working in the expanding field of artificial intelligence law. He will provide context for how AI is used in our world today, as well as explore some of the ethical and legal issues that the future may hold. We anticipate that people will have questions, so feel free to bring your list because we will reserve time for Q&A at the end of the program!
Registration is not required but is suggested if you would like to receive an email reminder.
