Forum on A.I. for all UC faculty, April 17, by UC Forward

“The Future of (No) Work and Artificial Intelligence: UC’s Response” is the focus of a forum for UC faculty at Niehoff Urban Studio, April 17, 2-5:15 p.m.

The forum will be held at the Niehoff Urban Studio, 2728 Vine Street, on Wednesday, April 17, 2:00-5:15 p.m., featuring keynote speaker Lee Rainie from Pew Research and UC faculty and an informal “meet and greet” reception will follow the program.

The development of Artificial Intelligence and its convergence with other technologies like robotics, business analytics and digital communications will bring profound changes to our society. Many economists predict that many of the jobs for which we now prepare UC students will not exist in a few short decades. Our society will be challenged to respond to these dramatic changes with new public policy frameworks and individuals will be challenged to find ways to live creative and meaningful lives unanchored by careers.
