18th Annual CRC-CSUS Fall Ethics Symposium: The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (Day 1 of 2)

This event is a collaboration among the CRC Honors Program, CRC Office of the President, and Sac State Center for Practical and Professional Ethics.

A technological revolution in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is underway. At bottom, to borrow a description from IBM, AI "leverages computers and machines to mimic the problem-solving and decision-making capabilities of the human mind." Our speakers will offer perspectives on the prospects and ethical challenges around the use of AI.

This event is free and open to the general public. Use coupon code EV12280 at any parking permit machine on the CSUS campus for free event parking (day 1 only).
