Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Ross Beveridge, Professor Emeritus

Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Ross Beveridge, Professor Emeritus : Please join Professor Emeritus Ross Beveridge for a discussion of Artificial Intelligence (AI), what it is, what it does, and where it may go. AI as a concept began beside the first digital computers, with pioneers like Alan Turing asking if these new computers could be as “smart” as people. The practical answer -- at least until recently -- has been a resounding no. However, with advances in technology such as machine learning and artificial neural networks, modern AI systems such as ChatGPT are starting to mimic us in ways that are hard not to notice. This talk will summarize some of the most recent technology and offer some discussion points for how we might best live with AI going forward.
Ross Beveridge is a Professor Emeritus at Colorado State University. He started research in the field of Artificial Intelligence in 1984 and has enjoyed a front row seat for more than half the life of the field. His areas of expertise include computer vision, giving computers the ability to see, and human computer interaction involving sight, gesture and speech. Along the way he has also explored ways of evaluating AI systems, for example when recognizing faces, does a system favor one race over another. He has also explored how modern learning in AI may be understood in terms of high dimensional geometry. He retired in 2022 and has recently moved to Humboldt County.
The presentation will begin promptly at noon.
