Is the hype around the A.I. overblown or are we underrating its trajectory? 2. What is something about A.I. that you think most people don't realize? 3. Have you ever had an experience working with A.I. that surprised you? 4. When you see an A.I. seeming to display characteristics of what we would call creativity, what is actually happening? 5. How should we think about the difference between what goes on inside an A.I. and within the human mind? 6. Is there something about A.I. that keeps you up at night? 7. When you discuss A.I. in private with your friends and colleagues, what do you like to debate? 8. Paint a picture of a world where A.I. has fulfilled its current potential. Where is A.I. going to take us? Please remember to watch at least a few videos before you arrive since we’ll be discussing them when we begin. Once the hangout begins, everyone will introduce each other and then take turns asking the provided questions in order to keep the discussion on topic. Hangouts typically last 90 minutes, and once the hangout is over you will have the opportunity to add people to your buddytree to organize private hangouts and develop friendships. As always, these hangouts provide the opportunity for a thoughtful, respectful and engaging discussion in a safe space where disrespectful behaviour is not tolerated.
