We’ll Email You a Reminder 30 Minutes before The UW Now Livestream.
Two words dominate nearly every recent industry and news story: artificial intelligence (AI). The field of generative AI has exploded in the last year, raising questions about how it could change our everyday lives. How is AI already impacting industries behind the scenes? What kind of research is happening at UW–Madison that could create advances — and safeguards — in this area? How much promise does AI hold for making improvements to our quality of life?
Join fellow UW alumni and friends online for a livestream and Q & A with a panel of experts who will discuss AI. The talk will be moderated by Mike Knetter, CEO of the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association.
