AI Snake Oil with Sayash Kapoor

November 19, 2024
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Sayash Kapoor and Arvind Narayan of Princeton University have written a new book, AI Snake Oilthat wrestles with this technology. The book explains the differences between types of AI, why organizations are falling for AI snake oil, why AI isn’t an existential risk, and why we should be far more worried about what people will do with AI than about anything AI will do on its own. For more on the book, see this link.

Our moderator for this event is Tom Goldstein, Volpi Cupal Endowed Professor of Computer Science, University of Maryland. 

Tom Goldstein will interview Sayash and then we open the discussion to the audience for questions and comments.
