Andrew Kuchling<p>April 3rd, 12pm-1pm Eastern (UTC -4): "Understanding AI: What it Can and Cannot Do", an online author event featuring Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor, authors of "AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t Do and How to Tell the Difference".</p><p>Supported by the <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Baltimore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Baltimore</span></a> County Public Library.</p><p>(The authors of this book are a computer science professor and graduate student at Princeton I've already read the book &amp; liked it, though I think the authors go too easy on the large social-media sites &amp; their inability to moderate effectively. They argue that predictive AI is largely a failure and faces inherent limits, and AI content moderation can't keep up with users, but generative AI is more likely to be useful, especially when it's overseen or verified by a human. They also call for judicious regulation, but of course we're not going to get any of *that*... well, maybe in the EU.)</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axAXZ5WTjE4" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=axAXZ5WTjE</span><span class="invisible">4</span></a></p><p><a href="https://dmv.community/tags/Maryland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maryland</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/BCPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BCPL</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/AuthorEvent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuthorEvent</span></a></p>
