A Conversation with the Authors of The AI Con @ SJSU

Описание: For their South Bay book launch of *The AI Con*, Dr. Emily M. Bender and Dr. Alex Hanna joined us in conversation with Rhonda Holberton, Digital Media Arts & Chair of the Department of Art & Art History at SJSU.

In THE AI CON: How To Fight Big Tech's Hype and Create the Future We Want (Harper), Dr. Emily M. Bender, Professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington, and Dr. Alex Hanna, Director of Research at the Distributed AI Research Institute, meticulously break down and reconstruct how we think about so-called artificial intelligence and, in doing so, upend the overblown claims of AI hype. With expertise drawn from years of scholarship, Bender and Hanna offer keen perspective and pointed humor as they explain how these technologies actually work. They go on to investigate attempts to use these tools in government, law, healthcare, journalism, art and beyond—and the damage being done amid the broken promises of the technology.
