Central Coast Voices: Artificial Intelligence: Will it save us, or destroy us?

Much of what you enjoy and depend on most in life, from your cell phone to the GPS in your car to your online banking, depends on Artificial Intelligence (AI). But advances in AI pose risk, perhaps eventually even existential risk. How should we think about the rise of AI and how should we enable or resist its myriad implications?

Join host Fred Munroe as he speaks with Dr. Ryan Jenkins, Associate Professor of Philosophy at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo and Keith Abney, lecturer of Philosophy at Cal Poly, and religious scholar as they discuss developments in artificial intelligence and what benefits and challenges they pose for residents on the Central Coast.

Broadcast date: 7/25/2019 

Central Coast Voices is sponsored by ACTION for Healthy Communities in collaboration with KCBX and made possible through underwriting by Joan Gellert-Sargen.

Fred Munroe is a co-host of the KCBX talk show Central Coast Voices, heard every Thursday afternoon from 1:00-2:00. Fred has successfully divided his time as a local entrepreneur, political leader, and communicator. He owns and manages two local firms addressing personal travel planning and public transportation; Travel With Fred and Ridership Development Consultants.
