The potential risks and benefits of AI

03 September 2018

Artificial Intelligence is set to impact every aspect of life, and every nation on earth. The field is rapidly changing and a wide-ranging impact on many aspects of modern life. These challenges cannot be solved by AI Researchers alone, nor without the expertise about the AI systems being fed into the process. Effective engagement in a timely fashion requires deep and ongoing collaboration between research leaders in AI, policy-makers, civil society and the public.

Dr Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh, Executive Director of the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at the University of Cambridge delivered a lecture on 3 September 2018 at NUS on the potential risks and benefits of Artificial Intelligence in the near and long-term future.
