Dakota digital discussions

A series of webinars that will respond to the ongoing impacts that digitization, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems are having on our society.

Noon-1:30PM, Tuesday, February 6, 2024

Welcome to the Dakota Digital Discussions (DDD) monthly webinar series. The webinars  focus on the implications of the rapid digital transformation of our society.

Abstract: The public introduction of chatGPT and other similar systems has sparked a lot of public and media attention to the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The result is a mixture of facts, hype and misinformation, concerning what AI is, and what it can and cannot do for and to society. The study of AI is now several decades old with many successes and failures. We will discuss the current landscape of AI, its strengths and weaknesses, where it had successes and failures and its potential impact on society.
