6Y9 | Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Boomers: Perspectives of Two Yale Professors

As AI is increasingly integrated into every facet of society, it both reflects and shapes societal norms, ethics, and human behavior. Along with tantalizing expectations that AI will relieve us all of many tedious tasks and will profitably extract ever-more value from oceans of data, the hyper-speed deployment of AI has led to some troubling results, raising urgent questions about the ethical implications and governance demands that come with AI. Two outstanding professors will lead our discussion: Nisheeth Vishnoi, the A. Bartlett Giamatti Professor of Computer Science and a co-founder of the Computation and Society Initiative at Yale, and Edward (“Ted”) Wittenstein, Executive Director of International Security Studies at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs. The discussion will be introduced by our classmates Doug Colton and John Adams and will include Q&A.
