The goal of the brand is to engage middle school females and eliminate negative stereotypes about women in STEM fields.
Uncover the potential of Artificial Intelligence in revolutionizing data analysis and enhancing conversational experiences within library contexts. This presentation explores how AI technologies are redefining data management, insights, and user interactions in libraries. Gain insights into how AI-driven data analysis can optimize collection management, resource allocation, and user engagement. Additionally, learn about the implementation of AI-powered conversational interfaces to provide seamless library support and guidance. Key Points: - Enhancing library data analysis: From catalog optimization to user behavior insights using AI. - Leveraging AI to automate routine data-related tasks and enhance decision-making. - Conversational AI in libraries: Creating virtual assistants and chatbots for user assistance. - Merging human expertise with AI: Crafting effective user interactions in library services. - Case studies showcasing libraries streamlining operations and enriching user experiences through AI. - Future horizons: The evolving role of AI in data management and personalized library interactions.
I gave this presentation at Deutsche Telekom AG's Digital Ethics Conference in Bonn on March 13 2019. It provides the background for how biases may occur in machine learning systems and what may go wrong if not corrected (or minimized).
Deep learning is likely to have a big impact on business. McKinsey predicts that AI and robotics will create $50 trillion of value over the next 10 years. Over $1 billion of venture investment has gone to 250 deep learning startups over the past year. Deep learning systems have recently broken records in speech recognition, image recognition, image captioning, translation, drug discovery and other tasks. Why is this happening now and how is it likely to play out? We review the development of AI and the pendulum swings between the "neats" and the "scruffies". We describe traditional approaches to semantics through logics and grammars and the new deep learning vector semantics. We relate it to Roger Shepard's cognitive geometry and the structure of biological networks. We also describe limitations of deep learning for safety and regulation. We show how it fits into the rational agent framework and discuss what the next steps may be.
This document discusses artificial intelligence (AI) in society and key issues around its development and use. It begins with an introduction to AI applications in areas like personalized recommendations, customer service, and fraud detection. It then covers a 5-spoke framework for understanding AI systems, including components like perception, reasoning, communication, decision-making, and interaction. Examples of applications in areas like computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning are provided. The document also discusses issues like bias, fairness, ethics, accountability and transparency in AI. It profiles Singapore as a thought leader in developing frameworks for ethical and responsible AI.
The document provides information on evaluating the credibility of internet resources. It discusses several key factors to consider, including authority, currency, objectivity, accuracy, and appearance. Authority refers to the qualifications of the author or organization. Currency addresses how recently the content was updated. Objectivity means presenting multiple viewpoints without bias. Accuracy means the information can be verified elsewhere. Appearance considers design elements like ads, navigation, and accessibility. Examples are given of both reputable and questionable websites based on an analysis of these factors.

Slides for a lecture given by Steve Omohundro in Jerry Kaplan's Stanford CS22a class on "Social and Economic Impact of Artificial Intelligence"
AI, as technical approach to solve problems, now is deploying in social systems and public administrations. What are the effects? the challenges? should we fear? What should we do?
Slides from Create Upstate May 16, 2014. Allies are motivated to make design choices by the people those choices serve. Although not perfect, simulations are experiential and can help designers gain tangible insight into the range of needs, experiences, and abilities of the people they design for – their audiences both on and off the screen. I challenge designers to use their design powers for access and not unintended gatekeeping.
These slides are the summary of y presentation on A.I. In Africa: Perspectives and Challenges during the Conference organized by MBCode Consulting Group under the theme: where is Africa on the map of AI?. The goal was to evangelize and raise awareness among the youth about A.I. and how it applies on the continent, and also the necessity to invest time on that direction
Everyone working in Artificial Intelligence (AI)/chatbots, has the opportunity to further develop technology which will affect the future of especially finance/payment, transport and health. The main question is how human-like‘ these solutions will need to be (if at all) in order to be adopted. And how will the future of employment look like?

The document discusses various ways that artificial intelligence can be used to assist with journalistic investigations and reporting. It provides examples of AI being used to find patterns in large datasets, analyze text and images, generate automated summaries, and more. However, it also notes challenges like ensuring accuracy of AI systems and the need for quality control of algorithmic outputs.
This document discusses pathways to success in the 21st century and the future of work. It begins with a discussion of robots and their increasing roles in fields like agriculture, manufacturing, space exploration, and healthcare. It then discusses the need to cultivate innovation and innovators through approaches like transdisciplinary education that brings together different fields to solve real-world problems. Special emphasis is placed on integrating areas like networking, cybersecurity, simulations, health, energy and the environment with arts, science, technology and mathematics.

Presentation by Dr. Anne Adrian, IT Director, Auburn University. Presented to personnel within Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service.
In our research, we work to understand how people feel about the expansion of robots in different employment areas, and what factors influence their feelings. Mainly we aim to discover what factors influence people‟s opinions on robots. The widely publicized views about robotics and artificial intelligence come to opposite conclusions. One being the idea that increased development of artificial intelligence and robots may lead to a situation of mass unemployment. The other more optimistic one being that the fear of job loss is unwarranted because a displacement and reposition of employment is what will ensue. There are also more contemporary views such as the following, to accelerate the development of robots and AI while maintaining employment opportunities at the same time, it is necessary to upgrade human capital. The results of our research show that males have a more positive view about robots than females. People who found out about robots via scientific readings are also more likely to have a positive opinion about them than those who found out about robots via media. Furthermore, people who were personally exposed to robots or who had heard about them from friends are less likely to have a negative opinion about them than those who found out the information via scientific readings. The results also show that the more interested a person is in science and technology, the more likely he or she will have a positive view of robots. We did not discover significant correlation between peoples‟ view about robots and their country of origin, also their age was not a significant determinate. We included further descriptive questions in our study pertaining to where respondents believe robots should be used as well as where robots should not be used. The majority of responses were in the fields of manufacturing and education. From this we draw that as of now, most people cannot accept the use of robots within social interaction due to either personal fears or lack of trust.
