Language, Thinking and the Alchemy of Learning Machines:
An introduction to the possibilities & challenges with Artificial Intelligence

Today, we live in a world which is in many regards digital first. Even seemingly non-digital events and phenomena such as the Corona pandemic, the US election and the democracy movement in Hong Kong are defined, understood and judged digitally first and only in an analog way secondly. Data and algorithms have come to inhabit a central place in our world and we now very much live in a world determined by the successes and failures of our technologies to understand us humans. Our social media feeds, our news feeds, our financial credibility, our entertainment, our shopping, our dating are all facilitated by data crunching algorithms doing their best to please. Obviously, this makes for great possibilities but also poses significant challenges. In this digitally defined world stands the developer, who like an alchemist conjures up new digital vistas for the rest of us to enter into, revel in and be challenged by. In  the light of this, I will introduce the topic of artificial intelligence and the need to adress it intelligently.
