AI in action: Seminars to explore artificial intelligence research possibilities Penn State University

Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are already integrated into most of the electronic devices that we use and are powering the global economy's transformation. But, analysts also warn that AI may have negative effects. For example, American market research company Forrester warns that AI and robots will replace 16 percent of American jobs in the not-so distant future. This academic year, Penn State's Institute for CyberScience will host speakers who will review the hopes for -- as well as concerns about -- AI in the future. The seminar series, "AI in Action: How Penn State researchers are Developing and Using AI to Advance Sciences, Engineering, Humanities, Social Good and beyond" kicks off on Tuesday, Sept. 17, with Orfeu Buxton.
