Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence

Making Sense of Artificial Intelligence

Audio recording of a panel given by tutor David McDonald, Curtis Johnson, Patrick Anderson, and Benjamin Scott on September 22, 2023 as part of the Dean's Lecture & Concert Series. The Dean's Office has provided this description of the event: The public availability of chat-enabled AI tools has stirred apprehension, excitement, and speculation. Our four panelists, David McDonald (SF93, Tutor), Curtis Johnson (SF89, Sandia National Laboratories), Patrick Anderson (SF MALA20 and MAEC22, Substack author on technology) and Benjamin Scott (SF25, current student) will provide starting points for a conversation about machine intelligence, what it is, what it is not, and the ramifications of its use. Among the interests of the panelists are: the limits of AI human-language interfaces for high-stakes applications; the possibilities for AIassistance in creativity; the relation of generative AI to the original human works from which it derives; and the significance of ‘low-tech’ education in an era of increasing automation.
