Weizenbaum Distinguished Fellow Lecture with Prof. Zizi Papacharissi, University of Illinois-Chicago, about the civic potential of AI and possible futures.

Do machines dream and can we use them to build a civic future that avoids mistakes of the past? The present moment invites concern about AI. Unchecked diffusion of AI related technologies is often met with broad adoption of AI capabilities that lack a sense of purpose. This talk traces the civic potential of AI and identifies a meaning for AI related tech innovation and interfaces of the future.
