Black Swan – AI Run Amok (Room S330BCD)

Continuing our Black Swan series of panel discussions, we will have a discussion on “AI Run Amok” to investigate the long reaching effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as it is integrated into our day to day lives and the social impacts it may have. Our panel will present various disciplines of AI, along with its beneficial use and debate whether our society can control its long term effects. What are the unintended consequences when applying AI to our defense, commercial, and electoral infrastructures? We have brought together a panel of military, industry, and academic experts to discuss the broad technical and societal challenges in dealing with this type of event. Their modeling techniques and outcomes will be discussed as well as their plans to help make our infrastructure and society more resilient to these consequences. The term Black Swan is used to describe a low probability/high impact event which could profoundly affect our future. The term comes from the 2007 book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, where he presents various world changing events and advocates anti-fragility as a means to be resilient to future events. We believe that modeling and simulation can play a major part in exploring these events in a very cost effective manner. Please join us for this engaging session!
