The University of Chicago’s Institute on the Formation of Knowledge (IFK) is excited to announce The Summit on AI in Society on October 13-16, 2022. We will have outstanding scholars from computer science, economics, history, philosophy, and other fields. As AI continues to grow in its power and application, we plan to discuss the potential and limitations of AI knowledge, its origins and end-games, methods to ensure trustworthiness and understanding, and ensemble approaches for collective intelligence and knowledge production.
