Making Sense of the Dissonance in AI

More about the session

It's a tough time to be a technology professional. We're simultaneously being told that AI will change everything we know about the world, while simultaneously being told that the bubble is going to burst.

Everyone is going to be redundant! AI will fail! AI will ruin the internet! AI can't do anything!

It's disorienting and stressful trying to work out what a reasonable strategy should be to move forwards with this technology that appears to shift it's goalposts almost daily.

In this session, we'll talk about understanding what AI really is, how to form a reasonable, governance friendly strategy around it, and what the sensible bets for the future are in the space. We'll do a deep dive into ethics, the human cost of content moderation, and having to be confronted by the reality of technical change in real-time.

A survival guide to getting the most from the most controversial technology in a decade.
