The Robots are Coming! Self-Driving Cars Are Here! Trusting Technology in the Digital Age and the Internet of Things - John Sustersic
Transformative innovations in digital technologies are evolving society in unprecedented ways, often with unanticipated consequences. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning advances have resulted self-driving cars, game-playing computers that can beat the World’s best human experts, and widely interconnected devices that bring extraordinary capabilities in the hands of many people across the world. How are we to survive in this brave, digital world?
This talk will highlight ongoing work in developing smart and trustable robots, focusing on how such innovations and tremendously capable *tools* can greatly enhance our abilities to learn, develop, and improve quality of life in unprecedented ways - but not without risks and consequences. Understanding what these tools do, what they cannot do, and what risks are inherent in their use is essential to develop appropriate levels of trust in the technology and to succeed in the Digital Age and the Internet of Things.
