Please join us for our Innovation at the Edge Speaker Series brought to you by the Office of Innovation & Commercialization.
The Office of Innovation & Commercialization’s Innovation at the Edge is an incredible speakers series that is your invite to hear from founders, researchers, venture capitalists, distinguished alumni, and creative leaders as they converge to nurture your entrepreneurial spirit.
This month our very own Greg Horowitt welcomes Erik Viirre, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Surgery and Otoneurology and Cognitive Science, UC San Diego, alongside Payson Stevens, author of Before AI Decides: Nine Ways to Stay Human. Together they will lead this exciting discussion entitled “A Bill of Human Rights in the Age of AI.”
Technology has often superseded humans’ abilities: faster, cheaper, indefatigable and more are the features of the machines that we build. But now we have systems that are as smart as we are in our specialties, and smarter in the realms we don’t know. The advent of AI perhaps asks of humans: “What is your Value Proposition?” While this framing may feel starkly utilitarian, it brings into focus our place in the world: our value to others and to ourselves. What rights do we have in a world with incredible AI? How do we best describe these rights? How do we best enact them? In this panel discussion, an initiative to outline rights and promulgate them is described and the audience is invited to comment and share their ideas.
Whether you’re a student with a burgeoning business concept or a seasoned professional seeking fresh insights, our series is your platform for education, connection, and bringing innovative ideas to life. Immerse yourself in this transformative community and unlock your entrepreneurial potential.
