RSE: Brave new bullsh*t

Royal Society of Edinburgh: Brave new bullsh*t
Livestreamed on the big screen at the Birks Cinema on Sunday 7 September at 7pm.
Join Professor Philip Wadler’s talk as he looks at the hopes and threats of AI, exploring who wins and who loses.

In an AI era, who wins and who loses?

Your future workday might look like this:
You write bullet points.
You ask a chat bot to expand them into a report.
You send it to your boss…
Who asks a chatbot to summarise it to bullet points.

Will AI help you to do your job or take it from you? Is it fair for AI to be trained on copyrighted material? Will any productivity gains benefit everyone or only a select few?
