Culturgest and Instituto Superior Técnico – Universidade de Lisboa, will organise a conference series on Artificial Intelligence: Applications, Implications and Speculations. Curators: Arlindo Oliveira (IST), Ana Paiva (IST) and Mário Figueiredo (IST).
Artificial intelligence is increasingly imposing itself on the reality of contemporary societies, although new technological developments come into being every day, this phenomenon is not correspondingly reflected in the public sphere. Considering that it is important to know and discuss this reality, this cycle of debates takes a look at the current applications of artificial intelligence reflecting upon its social implications in a whole range of different areas (ranging from health to privacy, employability and other areas) and the way in which the future can be imagined within this new paradigm.
Between April and June, the conferences are divided into three separate moments, each of them a double programme: a debate with several speakers from the academic and business worlds and a conference.
