LSE Data Science Institute’s Post

🦾 The technological advancements made by humans over the past century are like no other 100-year period in history. 🤖 Artificial intelligence can write paragraphs like this in a nanosecond, robots perform surgery that saves lives, automated drones deliver emergency packages during global crises, and we can connect with others thousands of miles away from a device in our pockets that also plays music. 🧬 However, the technologies that inform, inspire, and unite humanity can also increase disinformation, intimidation, and division. In parallel, the technological advancements that can enhance productivity – and support creativity and innovation – can also supplant human labour and exacerbate wealth inequality. At LSE our researchers are using tech’s revolutionary power to understand our world better, looking at AI and tech’s potential to do good, and limiting its potential to do harm. 📹 Join us as we launch a brand new video series exploring AI, technology and society. 👨💻 Explore our dedicated hub showcasing LSE research and commentary on AI, Tech and Society: https://lnkd.in/eFgGdTsp
