Whose Future?: AI and Sustainability A Roundtable Event
Technology companies are trying to sell us on a future where generative AI tools manage everything, from our work lives to our social interactions. But the hype around AI overlooks the many social and ethical issues that this technology raises. If we want to decide what future we want to live in, we need to explore the issues that fall outside the AI hype, so we can each make informed decisions about how AI should fit into our lives.
In our first event, we’re going to explore the problem of AI and Sustainability. Three Carleton faculty members will discuss the ways their discipline helps them to understand the sustainability issues that AI raises. Then, we’ll turn the night over to small group discussions where faculty, staff, and students can share their points of view.
Carleton students, faculty, and staff are all welcome!
Refreshments will be served!
