ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY. In his presentation, Dr. DiCarlo is going to talk about two things. First, he will discuss the basics of Artificial Intelligence so that everyone is roughly on the same page with reference to key terms, concepts, and issues. Second, he will take a look at some of the promising benefits and potential harms that such new technologies will bring to humanity. When we consider just a few of the possible ways in which AI technology will improve our lives, we are optimistically encouraged to see how these will unfold. From medical miracles, to increases in automation and efficiency, AI technologies hold almost limitless potential. However, at the same time, it’s important to realize that there are ways in which AI could present risks and generate harm – either intentionally or unintentionally.

NewsSharing Our Recipes Courtesy of Patricia Bolger The Big Guy's Left Over Turkey Pie If you have just hosted a big turkey dinner, then you will likely have lots of leftover vegetables to use. This recipe makes two 9” pies: one to eat tonight and one to freeze or refrigerate for an event later in the week. The recipe can be made as a Pot Pie in a casserole dish with only one top crust or you can make two two-crust pies or a number of individual pies if you have the pans. Serve with a fresh green salad, rice or cook up some chunked or mashed potatoes. "The Big Guy” recommends a medium-bodied red wine: maybe try a California Zinfandel or a Tempranillo wine from the Rioja area of Spain. |
