Join us tonight at 6:00 p.m. for Artificial Intelligence: Game Changer or Game Over?

We are so excited to invite the entire university community to join us tonight for Artificial Intelligence: Game Changer or Game Over?, a stimulating and timely panel discussion on the ethical and societal implications surrounding the use of artificial intelligence, sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research. This event, held tonight at 6:00 p.m. in the Darla Moore School of Business W.W. Hootie Johnson Hall, is free and open to the public with no registration required. Read on for complete event details.

 

What is Artificial Intelligence, Anyway?

At the upcoming event, Artificial Intelligence: Game Changer or Game Over?, a panel of diverse, deep-thinking UofSC faculty members from a wide variety of disciplines will discuss questions around the use of artificial intelligence. But, what is artificial intelligence, exactly? The term is used frequently in many different contexts, but it is rarely explained in a clear and comprehensive way.

Fortunately, we have Forest Agostinelli in the UofSC College of Engineering and Computing to help us gain a deeper and broader understanding of what artificial intelligence actually is, how it is used in daily life and the amazing potential it holds as a helpful collaborator for the advancement of humanity. Get Dr. Agostinelli’s take on all this, and learn more about his work at the USC Artificial Intelligence Institute, in UofSC’s video, “Ask the Expert: Artificial Intelligence with Forest Agostinelli.”

 

Meet the Panelists

The Office of the Vice President for Research has assembled a panel of outstanding faculty researchers representing a wide variety of disciplines from engineering to health sciences, business and law. Want to learn more? Read longer bios on each panelist on the event page.

Finding the W.W. Hootie Johnson Hall

• Attendees should enter the DMSB building courtyard through the outdoor stairs (or use the ramp just to the left of the stairs), along the Greene Street side of the building, under the international flags.
• Once you reach the courtyard (palmetto tree area), you will see the “Dominion East Study Commons” entrance immediately to the right. To get from this courtyard area to the building’s first level where the W.W. Hootie Johnson Hall is:
  • Elevator: Enter the door labeled “Dominion East Study Commons,” located immediately to the right of the Greene Street steps/ramp. Once inside, the elevator is on the left-hand side of the commons, near the back.
  • Stairs: Walk just past the study commons and enter the “Hipp Grand Staircase” door, which is just past the commons room to the right of the Greene Street steps/ramp. Once inside, go through the door immediately to the left, and down the staircase, following the exterior sign to the “Performance Hall.”
• Once on the first floor:
  • From the commons room elevator: Exit the elevator to the right and continue toward and past the staircase, then head left. The W.W. Hootie Johnson Hall entrance (room 101) will be on the left.
  • From the Hipp Grand Staircase: Turn left at the bottom of the stairs, and the W.W. Hootie Johnson Hall entrance (room 101) will be on the left.
