Join Professor Stuart Russell at the 71st Bernard Price Memorial Lecture!

Join SAIEE President Prince Moyo in welcoming Professor Stuart Russell to the 71st Bernard Price Memorial Lecture! As AI advances in capabilities and moves into the real world, its potential to benefit humanity seems limitless. Yet we see serious problems, including racial and gender bias, manipulation by social media, and an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons. Looking further ahead, Alan Turing predicted the eventual loss of human control over machines that exceed human capabilities. Prof Russell will argue that Turing was right to express concern but wrong to think that doom is inevitable. Instead, we need to develop a new kind of AI that is provably beneficial to humans. This webinar event is open to all! Register now. We are looking forward to hosting you!
