Program Description

Event Details

Artificial Intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction--it’s in our pockets, our workplaces, and our newsfeeds. But as these "bytes" become more sophisticated, how do they measure up against the human "brain"?

Join an expert from F&M’s Computer Science department as we peel back the curtain on the world of generative AI. We’ll explore the incredible promises of this technology—from revolutionizing medical research and accessibility to supercharging daily productivity—while honestly confronting its perils, including deepfakes, data privacy, and the "hallucinations" of digital minds.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a curious skeptic, or just someone wondering what ChatGPT is all about, this program offers a space to separate the science from the fiction
