Resource Automation + AI Mitigating Harm + Bias

AI Technologies Today at BenCon 2024

Sarah Bargal provides an overview of AI, machine learning, and deep learning, illustrating their potential for both positive and negative applications, including authentication, adversarial attacks, deepfakes, generative models, personalization, and ethical concerns.

In AI Technologies Today, Georgetown University Computer Science Professor Sarah Bargal provided foundational definitions and historical context for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. She then shared how these technologies can be used for good and harm through examples which explored authentication and adversarial attacks, deep fakes and image manipulation, generative models and misinformation, personalization and image generation, and the ethical implications of concept erasing in models.
