Master Class Paris "The Human Algorithm: how to digitalise human intelligence"

IE University is delighted to invite you to a special conference in Paris featuring Professor Susana Torres Prieto.

Master Class description

In the last few years there has been an increasing concern about the consequences of the seemingly unstoppable process of implementation of artificial intelligence in our daily lives. Parallel to groundbreaking advances, users demand a tighter regulation, and experts warn about the limits to our freedom and the dangers to the younger generations. In this uncertain scenario, we have often forgotten the fact that we have created AI, and not the other way around. And that everything that AI can do, humans have first imagined. It is not very well known that many of the advances that we use every day were conceived for the study of humanistic disciplines.
