Last month, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, wrote an article in which he shared his optimism over the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies like deep learning and how they could lead to breakthroughs in areas like healthcare and self-driving cars.
Billionaire business icon Elon Musk (of Tesla and SpaceX fame, and for a few years a student at Queen’s University, for which we will pass no judgement) recently fired back at Mark Zuckerberg over his grasp of the future of AI, claiming that the Facebook CEO’s “understanding of the subject is limited”.
We hear heated discussions, such as these, about AI every day. Some fear it will replace as much as 50 percent of all jobs within the next decade, while others believe it will generate substantial net benefit to human society. How can we better prepare ourselves for the threats and opportunities that will be created by AI applications?
We are pleased to host this year’s first Ivey Speaker Event - “How AI Will Impact Our Future Careers”. This speaker event will feature a panel of industry recognized leaders who will share their practical experiences on AI and ways we can best prepare for the disruption it may cause.
Tickets are now available on a first-come, first-served basis to both Ivey/Western alumni and the greater Hong Kong community.
