SUMMARY:LAS Faculty Research Symposium - AI IMPACT
DESCRIPTION:In-person pre-registration is now closed! If you would like the livestream link or have questions about this event, email lasevents@uic.edu. Walk-in registrations welcome.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  AI IMPACT  AI invites a wide range of hopes and fears. Its potential raises as many questions as it answers, and often resides in binaries between utopia and dystopia; connection and disconnection; social benefit and exploitation. Conversations about AI are riddled with anxiety about its consequences for humanity. Inevitably, the dreams and nightmares rendered by the limits of our human imagination revolve around the same theme: will AI fundamentally alter the essence of what it means to be human? And the answer, despite the countless narratives of anticipation and apprehension, is the same: Only if we permit it to do so.    AI IMPACT is a day-long research forum hosted by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and convened by the Department of Communication. On October 24, we come together to discuss AI?s benefits and challenges. From deep learning to deep fakes, from robotics to avatars, from ChatGPT to human augmentics, from virtual influencers to socialbots and countless others, we draw from a broad multidisciplinary understanding of AI to investigate how AI supported technology can be used for the common good.
