Artificial Intelligence: An Engineer's Perspective

About the Seminar

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing, raising important questions: What is AI, and what potential does it hold for us? Can it be a peaceful force, or does it pose dangers? As AI becomes an integral part of our future, how can we, as engineers, prepare to integrate and coexist with this transformative technology?

This presentation explores AI’s current capabilities, its potential impact on our lives, and the strategies we may adopt to navigate its integration in the coming years.
