Artificial intelligence (AI) is already reading minds, literally. Brain-computer interfaces can let people send messages or move prosthetic limbs just by thinking. But while AI offers incredible breakthroughs in medicine and safety, it’s also being used to exploit, deceive, and disrupt.
How do we harness AI’s potential while guarding against its dangers? From cybersecurity threats and digital exploitation to the future of work and medicine, this panel of experts will explore the risks and rewards of AI’s rapid rise.
The experts:
- Associate Professor Frederic Gilbert, philosopher and Principal Lead at the Ethics Lab, University of Tasmania
- Dr Joel Scanlan, Senior Lecturer and researcher in cybersecurity and privacy at the University of Tasmania
- Mars Buttfield-Addison, Specialist Software Developer, University of Tasmania and CSIRO
