AI: From Code to Consequence
New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute (NOCHI)
The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) – including both generative and traditional methodologies – is rapidly transforming the foundations of our daily life. This technology mediates everything from economic policy and scientific discovery to legal frameworks and personal decision-making.
AI, and the broader digital revolution we've been enmeshed in for the last 75 years, has undeniably made us more connected, yet it has also created new challenges and barriers between us. This multidisciplinary symposium will address the essential questions raised by this transformation: "What is the current state of these technologies, and how can we guide their adoption and use toward a more [fair] and beneficial future?"
Join us for a two-day symposium that brings together experts, thought leaders, and policy planners from across the country to explore the current state of AI across society, law, science, and policy, shedding light on these transformative technologies and how they are fundamentally (re)shaping our society. This event is proudly hosted by The Murphy Institute, in partnership with the Tulane School of Science and Engineering, A.B. Freeman School of Business, School of Architecture and Built Environment, Tulane Law, School of Professional Advancement, and the Connolly Alexander Institute for Data Science.
DAY 1 DESCRIPTION: The first day of the conference features keynotes and panel discussions from more than a dozen experts and global thought leaders on topics including current and emerging AI technologies, the impact of AI on the labor market, and building frameworks for responsible and ethical AI.
DAY 2 DESCRIPTION: The second day of the conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from Tulane and other institutions to explore selected aspects of AI in greater depth and foster dialogue across a variety of perspectives and disciplines. Designed to complement the broader discussions of the first day, these focused 30-minute sessions will provide insights into key issues of AI, with questions from the audience.
