On Thursday, February 6, 2025, join a panel of experts as they share their visions and answer your questions on the future of AI at the Capitol Theatre in Port Hope.
When it comes to artificial intelligence, what are we actually creating? Even those closest to its development are struggling to describe exactly where things are headed.
Start the evening with a public viewing of the April 2024 TEDTalk by Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, one of the primary architects of the AI models many of us use today, as he proposes an unignorable metaphor — a new digital species.
