Exploring the evolution, impact and future use of AI

In this episode, Andrea Emilio Rizzoli, director of the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IDSIA) and professor at the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), addresses the dual nature of AI in helping to solve global challenges, such as climate change, while also acknowledging the environmental impact of AI technologies. An impact that needs to be transparent to the public.

He discusses the evolution of AI from rule-based to data-driven approaches and the impact that the bias in training data might have, as well as what could constitute a useful regulation of AI.

Listen to Andrea talk about the importance of educating the next generation to become expert AI users, which should help increase productivity, however still develop core abilities that generative AI can do, as well as logical thinking.
