Crosstalks brings AI into a real perspective
“Crosstalks brings into perspective more real challenges then the general stereotype, for example that artificial intelligence is going to create enemies and overlords.” says Deeptha Madhavan, Masterstudent at Stockholm University and participant in the audience at Crosstalks on Artificial Intelligence.
“I think it is interesting to hear real scientists talk about Artificial Intelligence and put it into realistic problems that we have to address, like labor and unemployment. Those are the first challenges that we are going to face, instead of thinking about movie characters and movie problems.”
Watch Crosstalks on Artificial Intelligence, “The promise and threat of Artificial Intelligence” released on May 21, 6 PM CET at www.crosstalks.tv
Guests in the studio:
Theo Kanter, Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University.

“Crosstalks is a good platform for graduate students. It not only shows the research when it’s happening, but also the problems that we will have to focus on in the future, rather than having stereotypical opinions about a field.” says Deeptha Madhavan.
