Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work, learn, make decisions, and interact with the world, but how confidently should we rely on it?
In this Keynote, Dr. Tasha Austin-Williams from Deloitte and Dr. Thomas O'Toole from the Cornell Brooks School of Public Policy will explore the opportunities and challenges of AI, considering when it deserves our trust and when healthy skepticism is essential. They will offer informed perspectives on topics such as algorithmic bias, transparency, ethics, privacy, misinformation, and the evolving relationship between humans and machines.
Whether you're a policy maker, business leader, technologist, or simply someone trying to make sense of AI's growing footprint in daily life, this conversation will help you engage with AI more thoughtfully — neither uncritically embracing it nor reflexively rejecting it. You'll leave with sharper questions and greater clarity navigating an increasingly AI-driven world.
