It’s in the name, sure... But is AI really ‘intelligent’? Does it ‘think’? What do you know about how these tools were made, who owns them now, and who determines the way they work? How can you turn AI to best advantage in business and personal spheres?
Now that AI’s on the tip of everyone’s tongues and offered as a service by almost every company you encounter, it’s time to examine your own relationship with the technology.
Dr Sandra Peter wants to make technology work for people. Through her research at the intersection of business and cutting-edge technology at the University of Sydney Business School, Dr Peter explores where AI where it is at this moment, where came from, and invites you to think about how to harness AI in your own life – and where to consider placing limits.
For more on the rise of AI, listen to Dr Sandra Peter in this forum held at the University of Sydney in 2023.
