ChatGPT, Generative AI and the Future of Digital Intelligence
The world of AI is transforming before our eyes, bringing us new tools and capabilities that sometimes feel like they’ve arrived from the future. This rapidly advancing field is delivering us into a world unlike anything humanity has ever experienced. From innovative business uses to new kinds of art and music, the potential to create better, faster ways of performing tasks and interacting with our technologies is mind-boggling.

But these advances don’t come without their costs, trade-offs and challenges. As we enter this new phase of techno-human collaboration, what are the questions we should be asking ourselves?

Or will we be serving them?

Join him for a journey into the many directions AI could take our society, as we all try to understand just what kind of future it is that we’re building.
