Would you agree music provides the soundtrack to our lives? How a bout the fact that our lives at home and at work are changing faster than ever because of artificial intelligence? \; Host presenter\, \;Kei th \;McDonald\, brings these two ponderables together in a two part vi rtual event. \;

\n

The CONCERTS for AI are his means to express t he urgency and energy of artificial intelligence in a creative and fun way . There are both risks and possibilities where AI can either save us or ki ll us (and likely in between). \; \;Keith \;riffs on this with humour\, drama and more - using original music\, interviews\, multimedia& nbsp\; and humour. This is\, definitively\, not another speaker lecture wi th a PowerPoint deck. \;

\n

Part 2:

\n

T his shows both good and bad examples of AI in use and what is coming. For every bad example there is a good one (or\, you could say\, for every good example there is a bad one). Our perspective \;on AI will decidedly b e a factor in resolving risks and adopting the good over the bad. \;Ke ith \;explains algorithms (with special guest and alter ego: Professor MC). How are they created\, used and employed? Finally\, discussion on ho w AI literacy can be taught everywhere - in many subjects including parent /child interactions at home.
