LIVE ONLINE! Great Decisions: Artificial Intelligence and Data

Policymakers in many countries are developing plans and funding research in artificial intelligence (AI). Global growth is slowing, and not surprisingly, many policymakers hope that AI will provide a magic solution. The EU, Brazil, and other Western countries have adopted regulations that grant users greater control over their data and require that firms using AI be transparent about how they use it. Will the U.S. follow suit?

Great Decisions, produced by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), is America’s largest civic discussion program on world affairs. Discussions will run live online weekly each Thursday from April 2 – May 7. Each week we will cover a topic of great importance to Americans and a discussion of American policy will be facilitated along with viewing a short video. The Foreign Policy Association has made all the videos available free online. A link to the video is listed below for each discussion. We will be streaming the video via Zoom during the first half hour, for those who want to watch with the group. Attend the entire series of discussions or one discussion. No previous registration is required. The program series is co-sponsored by Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s Adult Learning Program.
