AI is on the rise — are you ready?
Join us for an informative discussion with Professor Norah Dunbar from the University of California, Santa Barbara, about how AI is affecting communication and interpersonal relations. How has it changed the concepts of credibility and persuasion? What role should AI play in deception detection? What, if any, role should ChatGPT and other AI systems play in our future communications as the technology continues to evolve? Our presenter will address the evolving nature of communicators and communications and deciding how and when to use AI. We’ll also touch upon the societal impacts and costs of these technologies.
