Presentation Speaker

Presentation Abstract

There has been considerable discussion about AI and its applications in various aspects of life. The impact of AI has already proven to be exponential compared to the previous technological wonder – the Internet. However, there is no reason to fear AI. Once we understand it overall and start using it to become more productive in all aspects of our lives, we can then embrace it. But there is one caveat: there is no Artificial Intelligence without Human Intelligence. AI is not replacing us — it is reflecting us. It embodies our logic, biases, imagination, curiosities, and ambitions.

In this presentation, Professor Kevin Reilly will discuss the close interconnection between Human Intelligence (HI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). As humans, we need to interpret AI’s outputs, define its ethical boundaries during its use, and determine who will provide the foundational data and scientific principles from which these systems are built. This reality underscores an inseparable synergy between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, reminding us that machines are not independent thinkers but rather tools and mirrors of our own ethics, values, and decisions. Learning Objectives include:
• A brief history of Artificial Intelligence
• The relationship between Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence
• Ethical considerations when using Artificial Intelligence
• AI Tools: Generative AI, Prompt Engineering
• The future of AI
