Why attend?
Described as "refreshingly sarcastic" by The Guardian, The AI Con offers an alternative perspective on AI use in our work and society.
Authors Bender and Hanna argue that each AI use case should be scrutinized for its utility, hidden biases, and potential to replace human judgment. They warn: "A few major well-placed players are poised to accumulate significant wealth by extracting value from other people's creative work, personal data, or labour, and replacing quality services with artificial facsimiles."
This promises to be a thought-provoking discussion about AI's role in statistics and pharmaceutical research. Read the book and come ready to share your perspective!
