Artificial intelligence (AI) is not merely a technological trend; it is the very future that will shape our world. However, as we ride the wave of AI’s advancements, it is imperative that we engage in thoughtful discussions regarding the ethical and moral implications it raises. In the words of Klaus Schwab, “We must address, individually and collectively, moral and ethical issues raised by cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, which will enable significant life extension, designer babies, and memory extraction.”
With AI’s increasing integration into our lives, the University of Hartford recognizes the need to explore the potential dangers it may pose to individuals and society. In this spirit, we are excited to invite you to an upcoming event where we will delve into a pressing concern: “deep fakes.” These are fabricated photos and videos generated by AI, often portraying individuals in scenarios they have never been a part of, and they have the potential to defame people unjustly.
Event Details:
- Date: Tuesday, October 31st
- Time: 10:00 a.m.–11:30 a.m.
- Location: Hillyer Hall Room 162, Regents Common Room, Shaw Center
Seminar Overview:
Professor Adam Chiara from the School of Communication will lead this assembly, aiming to shed light on the creation and implications of deep fakes. As we navigate a world where these convincingly altered digital media are becoming increasingly sophisticated, we face critical questions:
- How can we discern what documentation to trust in the age of deep fakes?
- What potential benefits does AI bring that might offset these dangers?
This event promises to be a thought-provoking and informative discussion that will leave you with a deeper understanding of the ethical and societal concerns posed by AI technology.
