AI Expert to Headline 澳客足球 Leadership Series
Few areas of contemporary human life have not already been affected by the sudden rise of artificial intelligence technology.
That reality has considerable ramifications for our personal and professional lives. As the guest of the 2024 澳客足球 Leadership Series event, bestselling author and New York Times technology columnist Kevin Roose, considered one of the most knowledgeable journalists on the subject of AI, will present 鈥淎nswering the Prompt: Leading With Integrity in the AI World,鈥 scheduled for 3-7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26, at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, 1602 Broadway Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64108. The presentation promises to be an exploration of both the big questions and nuances associated with the shifting roles of human effort and machine learning in the age of AI and what it means to be an ethical leader as use of the technology spreads.
Kevin Roose is the author of three books 鈥 鈥淔utureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation,鈥 鈥淵oung Money鈥 and 鈥淭he Unlikely Disciple.鈥 In his regular column in the New York Times, "The Shift," he examines the intersection of tech, business and culture. Roose is a recurring guest on the Times鈥 news podcast, 鈥淭he Daily,鈥 and appears regularly on leading TV and radio shows. He writes and speaks frequently on topics including automation and artificial intelligence, social media, disinformation and cybersecurity, and digital wellness. As a host of two New York Times podcasts, "Hard Fork" and "Rabbit Hole," Roose explores the ever-evolving landscape of technology, delving into the wild frontiers of the digital world and how the internet influences our beliefs and behavior.
Most recently, Roose鈥檚 work, including 鈥淔utureproof,鈥 examines how humans must adapt to the explosion of AI, informed by interviews with experts and leaders who are tackling these complex challenges. The result is meant to help us understand and adapt to the seemingly endless applications and serious ethical implications of our continued co-evolution with AI and technology.
鈥淎I is better than humans at operating in stable environments, with static, well-defined rules and consistent inputs,鈥 he writes. 鈥淥n the other hand, humans are much better than AI at handling surprises, filling in gaps, or operating in environments with poorly defined rules or incomplete information.鈥
