Raise The Bar with Katrina Ingram


AI, ethics and deep fakes - are we doomed?

The year is 2026. Generative AI, trained on humanity's collective outputs, threatens to upend our sense of reality while displacing workers and leading the world towards destruction. Or maybe, artificial intelligence will usher in a utopic future, providing longevity and economic prosperity for all. Doom and hype are not necessarily polar opposites in the AI story. Instead, they work together to keep us invested in AI, both literally and figuratively. Join adjunct faculty member and technology ethicist, Katrina Ingram, for a critical, socio-technical take on the past, present and future of the enigma known as 'AI'.
