This event is organized by U of T Entrepreneurship as part of as part of True Blue Impact Day culminating U of T Entrepreneurship Week

To mark the culmination of U of T Entrepreneurship Week, join University Professor Emeritus of computer science and Nobel Prize winner, Geoffrey Hinton for a candid conversation on the opportunities, challenges, and obligations when building a new venture leveraging the power of artificial intelligence.  

Artificial intelligence adoption has quickly captured the public imagination and sparked important debates around the world. Governments, business leaders and global citizens are having critical conversations about if and how AI should be regulated and what guardrails need to be in place to protect society. Advocates on both sides argue about both the enormous potential and risks of this disruptive technology and the rapid emergence of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) has accelerated this debate.

The fireside chat will cover a broad range of topics, including:

• Canada’s place in the AI revolution

• Do LLMs understand language in the same way as we do?

• Reasons for optimism

• Risks of AI

• Is digital intelligence just better than analog intelligence?

This event will take place as part of True Blue Impact Day on March 6th, and will be live streamed.
