The Science Café on“Artificial Intelligence”will take place on Thursday, March 17, 2022, at 8:00 p.m. at the MJC in Chambéry.
Admission is free.
ABOUT THE DEBATE
Defined as “the body of theories and techniques used to create machines capable of simulating human intelligence,” artificial intelligence (AI) is now ubiquitous in our daily lives. From robotics and the automotive industry to social media, healthcare, e-commerce, GPS navigation, and gaming, AI has made its way into nearly every sector of activity.
Although it has seen significant development in recent years, the idea of creating machines that mimic human behavior is, in fact, a very old one. From automatons to Turing’s abstract machines, and including idea-generating mechanisms, numerous inventions over the centuries have stemmed from this line of thinking, and the first AI systems are its legacy.
With current advances, machines are replacing humans in an increasing number of tasks. What benefits can AI offer? But what are its limitations? Should we be concerned about some of its consequences? Will AI-driven technologies give rise to new challenges, particularly of an ethical or legal nature?
And finally, what does it mean to describe machines as “intelligent”? To what extent can they be “intelligent”?
