Adam Cheyer has been working professionally in artificial intelligence (AI) for more than 30 years, and in the last few years, milestones have been achieved that he never thought he would see in his lifetime. These stunning advances in the field have led some to question whether things are going too fast, and whether our role as the most intelligent beings on this planet is in jeopardy. Is AI the panacea to all our problems, or the peril we need most fear?
This topic will be explored in this PARC Forum, with a particular emphasis on where AI is today being applied to solve problems in all ranges of business and human endeavors, and what are the implications for near and far futures.
