The idea of artificial intelligence implies its opposite: the existence of something like natural or innate intelligence, free from external aids. In reality, humans have always relied on tools to think, and through tools, we are forced to rely on each other, even for the simplest of cognitive tasks. In this talk, professor Dennis Yi Tenen proposes to dispel common misconceptions about AI in a way that would better prepare us for thinking, writing and reading with machines. We hope you can join us for wine, appetizers and a night of thought-provoking discussion.
