AI and Society

Artificial Intelligence is increasingly becoming a pervasive part of everyday life. From writing our emails and recommending shows on TV, to real-time fraud detection and predicting the spread of dangerous diseases, AI's input into our lives and livelihoods has surged exponentially in the past decade. In this panel, our experts tackled some of the biggest questions of AI's impact on society, and whether it may be a force for good, or for ill.
