Science Unwrapped - A.I. is an Astounding Innovation, But Can We Trust It?
Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped, the public STEM outreach program of USU's College of Science. Data scientist John Lawson, research assistant professor in USU's Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Bingham Research Center at USU Uintah Basin, presents "A.I. is an Astounding Innovation, but Can We Trust It?" at 7 pm in the Emert Auditorium (ESLC 130) of the Eccles Science Learning Center on the USU campus, Logan. Admission is free. Refreshments and hands-on learning activities follow Dr. Lawson's talk. Talk Description: Artificial intelligence – AI – captures our imaginations with its rocketing innovation and surging accessibility. AI-generated text, video, images and voices seem like magic, yet can also be a wolf in sheep’s clothing with incorrect and misleading information. How do we harness this amazing tool, while curbing potential harm? Data scientist John Lawson, who uses AI to predict weather hazards, explores what it means, and the diverse skills, knowledge and precautions needed, to create trustworthy AI. Dr. Lawson's talk is part of Science Unwrapped's Fall 2024 "Joining Forces" series.
