The season opener will feature Peter Scott, TEDx presenter, AI futurist, author, and former NASA employee, His latest book, ‘Artificial Intelligence and You: What AI Means for Your Life, Your Work, and Your World’ explores how AI will extend and accelerate thinking, but will also require us to navigate a path of challenges ranging from bias, privacy, and explainability, to job displacement through automation, and a future coexistence with superintelligent machines.
“Redefining AI is focused on delivering education on AI and ML, exploring how they can achieve their vast potential, and be used ethically," continued Lauren Hawker Zafer. "This will always be our principal focus, and I can’t wait for the second season to get underway so we can bring some of those learnings to the wider world.”
