To mark the culmination of U of T Entrepreneurship Week, join University Professor Emeritus and Nobel Prize winner, Geoffrey Hinton for a candid conversation on the opportunities, challenges, and obligations when building a new venture leveraging the power of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence adoption has quickly captured the public imagination and sparked important debates around the world. Governments, business leaders and global citizens are having critical conversations about if and how AI should be regulated and what guardrails need to be in place to protect society. Advocates on both sides argue about both the enormous potential and risks of this disruptive technology and the rapid emergence of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) has accelerated this debate.
The fireside chat will cover a broad range of topics, including:
Canada’s place in the AI revolution
Do LLMs understand language in the same way as we do?
Reasons for optimism
Risks of AI
Is digital intelligence just better than analog intelligence?
