Artificial Intelligence: Learning, Working, and Collaborating in the Digital Age

We are in a period of major changes in technology that are impacting all areas of our lives. Despite lacking a generally accepted definition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the principal technology touted as having miraculous abilities to solve all problems. To gain a more nuanced and deeper understanding of AI, this talk presents two competing frameworks: (1) AI versus Humans: which tasks should be taken over by AI systems acting independently?) and (2) AI and Humans: which tasks should be reserved for educated human minds aided by AI? Professor Fischer believes that competing visions of AI development – from optimists, pessimists, or realists – have resulted in a deeper understanding of how it can contribute to our quality of life. The lecture also includes a special focus on ChatGPT, and an exploration of learning, working, and collaborating in the digital age.

Lecturer: Professor Gerhard Fischer

He is Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado, Boulder Department of Computer Science, a Fellow of the Institute of Cognitive Science, and the Founder and Director of the Center for Lifelong Learning and Design (L3D). Fischer’s research includes: new conceptual frameworks and new media for learning; working, and collaborating; human-computer interaction; and artificial intelligence. His recent work is centered on quality of life in the digital age, intelligence augmentation, social creativity, cultures of participation, and rich landscapes for learning.
