Science, Society, and the Next American Edge

Описание: In this COSM 2025 session, Lev Gonick of Arizona State University discusses how universities can play a central role in advancing innovation, discovery, and national competitiveness in the AI era. The presentation highlights ASU’s model of a “fifth-wave” university — one that combines research, education, and public service to address major societal challenges while expanding access to opportunity.

The talk explores how decades of public investment in science — from early AI research to the internet — have fueled today’s technological breakthroughs, and how universities can translate research into real-world impact through partnerships, entrepreneurship, and workforce development. It also highlights ASU’s work in areas such as medical engineering, semiconductor development, and expanding access to STEM education for diverse learners.

The mission of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute is to explore the benefits as well as the challenges raised by artificial intelligence (AI) in light of the enduring truth of human exceptionalism. People know at a fundamental level that they are not machines. But faulty thinking can cause people to assent to views that in their heart of hearts they know to be untrue. The Bradley Center seeks to help individuals — and our society at large — to realize that we are not machines while at the same time helping to put machines (especially computers and AI) in proper perspective.
