The AI Amongst Us Format: Panel

15 Aug 2020, Saturday 13:00 - 13:50, Earthseed Room (Online Convention (via
Zoom))

AIs are here, slipping through our everyday world, crunching numbers,
sorting data, and learning their field of study at an exponential rate.
However, general artificial intelligence still remains a distant digital dream.
Has AI failed us or have we failed AI? Has innovation stalled? What can
researchers learn from science fiction regarding sentient AI systems? What
grains of innovation inspiration remain untested within the pages of novels and
will increased computing power help bridge that uncanny gap?

(As you can imagine, I have a few ideas about this...)
