Episode Details

AI is everywhere these days, and it’s already having a major impact on our society – but of course not all of those impacts are positive. What is the potential and the promise of AI? What are the pitfalls? And how can we harness AI to improve humanity while minimizing those negative effects?

Thursday, November 12, UNC is hosting a free public panel on “AI and Human Wellbeing” at 5:30 p.m. in the FPG Student Union, part of the Abbey Speaker Series.

One of the speakers is Alessandra Bazzano, who heads up the department of maternal and child health at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Aaron welcomed Dr. Bazzano for a conversation about AI and how it might be used in her field.
