AI and Human Empowerment
Technology makes us wealthier, healthier, and more knowledgeable. But does it help us live richer and more fulfilling lives? Prof Chris Summerfield argues the dominant trend over the past 200 years has been for technology to strip people of their personal agency. In this talk, he will discuss this contention in the context of the 21st century AI revolution, and ask how we can train models to empower, rather than disempower, people.
To attend the dinner, you must attend the prior seminar.
