Cafe Skeptics Meetup: Artificial Intelligence Discussion | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The past few decades have shown incredible progress in technology. Advancements in computer speed and storage have enabled impressive advancements like Google Search, voice recognition, facial recognition, and competitive machine players for games like Chess and Go.

Today everyone owns electronics that have certain features we appropriately call “intelligent”, yet they do not (or is it not yet?) have artificial intelligence. Discussion of A.I. includes both good science and a lot of woo. This talk will explore what’s likely, unlikely, possible, and science fiction. Further, this talk will comment on how a non-technical person can be appropriately skeptical without an advanced degree.
