Might AI be as intelligent as humans?

Fellowship events

 -  | GMT Standard Time

The Steps, RSA House and Online via Zoom

There are many perspectives about what it means to be intelligent, and what sort of intelligence we find in “artificial intelligence” (AI) technologies. For some, AI simply cannot be intelligent in the way people are. For others, it is not a matter of whether AI can be intelligent but when it will come to surpass human intelligence. For others, some AI technologies already show signs of human-like intelligence.

Join us on 31 October to explore the question of “intelligence” in AI. Hosted by the RSA Responsible Artificial Intelligence Network (RAIN) at RSA House and online, we will bring together panellists from industry, the arts and academia to tackle complex AI-related topics.

Through informal discussions, we will aim to bring nuanced and diverse perspectives to the wider audiences in a friendly manner. This event is free to attend and open to Fellows, friends, and colleagues interested in supporting the work of RSA Fellows.

About RAIN

The Responsible AI Network informs the responsible development, deployment, adoption and governance of AI technologies and research. We do so by promoting an innovation ecosystem that welcomes diverse voices, reduces inequalities, embraces critical thinking, collaborates across disciplines, and enables the wellbeing of people, places and planet.
