Ethicality of AI and Deep Learning

With the explosion of new AI tools and products on the market, AI has transitioned from the far off fantasies of science fiction novelists to a ubiquitous decision maker in our daily lives. If you are trying to get a new credit card or applying for a new job, chances are that an AI system played some role in the deciding the outcome. The increased role of AI systems in our daily lives means that we, as both consumers and business leaders, need to take a closer look at the ethicality of using AI as both a primary decision maker and an informer in our own decision making processes. In this event, we will have an open discussion about the following questions:
* Do AI systems represent you?
* Do AI systems align with your desires and goals?
* Are AI systems fair and bias-free?
* Do AI systems respect your privacy or the privacy of others?
Join us May 11th to discuss these topics and questions in depth. This event is open and welcome to people of all backgrounds whether you are a person that has never directly interacted with AI systems or a business leader that it thinking about using AI in their product or service. Due to restrictions of our venue, we will have a reservation limit of 40 people.

While each BSides event is unique, we target the industry professional looking to offset or augment their current security skill set with that of the next-big-thing conversations. These are industry leaders, thought leaders, information security professionals, and even students who wish to expand their body of knowledge. People who attend have various backgrounds in different sectors and verticals. Their common goal is to learn about emerging issues and connect with those who are having them.
Unlike other events where the speaker is rushed in and out, BSides provides a small and intimate environment for the participants to directly engage the speaker before, during, and after their talk or presentation. Participants are looking for more than just information; they are looking to make connections they will call upon throughout the rest of the year.
