This masterclass will discuss the current landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and some of its impacts and consequences in the world today.
We'll be joined by Dr Scott Stainton who will explore AI through different lenses to assess the current state of AI for:
- The good uses in areas such as threat detection for law enforcement, lifesaving diagnoses in medical imaging, and augmenting and accelerating human decision making.
- The bad uses for malicious purposes such as sophisticated phishing and impersonation attacks, chemical weapon synthesis, and autonomous terrorism.
- The ugly side of AI, how exploitation of AI can erode trust and hypothesising on the future of AI and its ramifications for national security.
