Will Generative AI Change the World?

Generative AI is already impacting our daily lives, from personalized recommendations to automated customer service, and its influence will only grow as technology advances. Amid the current hype and craze, it's essential to understand its potential and its practical challenges. Generative AI, a frontier technology, promises to transform industries and reshape our daily lives. The potential applications are vast and varied, from creative content generation to advanced problem-solving capabilities. However, as with many technological advancements, it comes with ethical, social, environmental and practical challenges. Join Dr. Sidney Shapiro and explore the current state of Generative AI and its future possibilities and critically examine the impacts it could have on society. We will discuss how businesses and individuals can harness this technology responsibly and the implications for our future. 

Dr. Sidney Shapiro is an Assistant Professor of Business Analytics at the Dhillon School of Business and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of Lethbridge, with a wealth of experience in data science and business analytics. With over a decade of expertise in developing and automating data, Dr. Shapiro has worked extensively at the intersection of AI, data engineering and business intelligence. Formerly a data science manager in the occupational health and safety sector, Dr. Shapiro focuses on advancing theoretical and practical applications of data and business analytics. His research spans AI adoption trends, data privacy and the transformative potential of emerging technologies in business and education.
