BAGLEY — Northern Exposure to Lifelong Learning's fall series continues with Dr. Marty J. Wolf presenting "The Nature of Artificial Intelligence and its Pressing Ethical Concerns" at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 18, at Faith Lutheran Church, 32 Bagley Ave. NW.
Wolf is an emeritus professor of computer science at Bemidji State University and chair of the ACM Committee on Professional Ethics, a release said. He has more than 30 years of experience teaching undergraduate computer science and recently completed an Erskine Visiting Fellowship in the philosophy department at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Wolf's research has included theoretical computer science, bioinformatics, graph theory, computing and information ethics, and the philosophy of computation.
In his presentation, Wolf will share an overview of artificial intelligence and its various forms, discuss machine learning and talk about generative AI, such as ChatGPT, the release said.
"From there, Professor Wolf will review some of the concerns raised in the AI industry, and demonstrate that those concerns are likely overstated," the release said. "Professor Wolf will end with looking at the sorts of things that machine learning and generative AI might be good at, as well as identify the more pressing issues that need to be addressed in the development and application of artificial intelligence."
The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 9 a.m. with the program starting at 9:30. Refreshments will be served and a free-will donation will be accepted.
