SAILS Lunch Time Seminar – Bas Haring

How AI Changed My Life

What to Include in a Future Children’s Book about AI

Bas Haring, professor of Public understanding of Science at LIACS.

Abstract: Although some might know me as a philosopher, I actually have a background in artificial intelligence. After my Ph.D. I didn’t do much with that field, or so it seems. I wrote popular scientific books about e.g. evolution, biodiversity and even about economics. However, all these topics are in fact linked to artificial intelligence — I realised later in my career. In this meeting I will tell you how these topics are linked.
