On the 7th, Professor Artur Dubrawski, researcher and alumnus of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, will be present at the seminar Applied AI: Opportunities and Challenges, in room EA2, North Tower, at the Alameda campus. The seminar will focus on thoughts, research, and opinions that have emerged over the past years in this field.

Artur Dubrawski leads the Auton Lab, a research group focused on the investigation and application of AI and machine learning. The professor has both academic and industrial experience and has been working to apply useful AI in various domains of societal importance.

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been studied for a few decades as a discipline of scientific research, but only recently it has been fully exposed, or more precisely some aspects of it, to the general public. This exposure opens fantastic new opportunities but also creates new risks. This talk will offer a greatly incomplete and subjective mix of qualms, thoughts and opinions on those topics offered by the presenter, who for the past 35 years has been trying to make AI useful in practice. Hopefully, with the help of the audience, his age-induced grumpiness will be outweighed by the enthusiasm, as we jointly sketch the way forward.
