WESTPORT — The quest to find traces of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe may actually end with Earth-bound algorithms.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is currently being explored by some of the smartest minds on Earth as to what it means for future life on Earth and its inhabitants.
A program sponsored by Wisemen of Westport/Weston next week could help decipher the technological advances—or threats—that AI poses.
“Realizing Artificial Intelligence” is the subject of a presentation by Emmy Award-winning journalist and former New York Times columnist David Roeg scheduled for Monday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. at the Westport Library. To enroll in the free program, click here.
Artificial intelligence apps can render images of any object or scene that mimic the style of famous artists and photographers. Based on the user’s request, some can write almost anything from letters to research papers to software.
