Event examines ethics, politics and future of AI

Three leading Cornell scholars discussed governmental, social and moral ramifications in “Politics, Policy & Ethics of the Coming AI Revolution” on April 15, an Arts Unplugged event sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) and moderated by Andrew Ross Sorkin ’99, of CNBC and The New York Times.
