Seminar: "How to Build Human-Centric AI"

Tuesday 31.10.2023, 15:00–16:45

 

The seminar is jointly organized by the Embassy of Finland and Sookmyung Women's University.

 

Our Lab fellow,  Melody Salm has been invited to be on a panel. 

Our Lab Advisor, Antti Niemelä, Deputy Head, Embassy of Finland is the Moderator.


Artificial intelligence – AI – will shape our societies in coming decades probably more thoroughly than any technological advancement before. It will transform not only our digital environment and how we work, but also our physical environment and how we live our daily lives. AI comes with a great promise, but also with considerable risks to equality, inclusivity, fairness, and human life. How can we make sure that the new technology actually makes life better on our planet and that the technology serves humanity, not enslave it?

 

This seminar of current leaders discusses how especially new generation of young women – from all walks of life – can take leadership in shaping AI towards common good of our societies. AI development is simply too important to be left for the technologists only.
