Panel: Human-AI Collaboration
Since generative AI exploded into the public eye in early 2023, it's changed the way we think about technology's role in our lives. This year's CAIT Showcase panel build's on last year's discussion of emerging possibilities and challenges in generative AI, with a deep dive into how we interact with these technologies and what they mean for our values.
Panel participants:
Shih-Fu Chang (Dean, Columbia Engineering; Moderator)
