The Southern Oregon Arts & Research conference invites you to be a part of our 10th anniversary, celebrating our journey through the decade. Visit sou.edu/soar for more information.
The purpose of this panel is to discuss the role the media plays in how we make decisions, specifically for millennials. Every day we are exposed to massive amounts of digital information through social media channels. This panel will deal with the various forms of media we are exposed to, and what we can do to use it as a tool to empower a society of peace, rather than be used by it.
Is the world ready for AI to make ethical decisions? Self-driving cars will soon have to choose whether to save the lives of pedestrians or the lives of their passengers. Would you trust your car to choose whether you live or die? Preliminary conclusions indicate that the world is not ready for AI to be ethical. Without an ethical framework to guide both researchers and the AI they work on, lives will be lost and it will be difficult to hold anyone accountable.
