Dr. Michael Ridley, one of the featured speakers at Friday’s debate, says people need to know more about how algorithms use artificial intelligence
A group of international experts will debate the benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence, social media and quantum computing at the University Librarian’s Lecture Friday at UVic.
He said academics and scientists have been working on artificial intelligence for years, but the conversations have picked up steam as the concept has become mainstream and the public tries to grapple with the implications of the new technology and how it affects their lives. “Just like information literacy, we need to make algorithmic literacy a core learning skill so that people can use it as well as to protect themselves from it being used against them.”
Artificial intelligence has also been quietly operating in the background for a number of years, he said. He uses spam filters as an example, explaining that the number of spam emails people now receive has dropped markedly, thanks to artificial intelligence programs effectively filtering out the bulk of them.
