AI for Dummies

AI creates great opportunities but also great challenges. Challenges for the future but also for the present. If the brilliant Gary Kasparov could not beat a primitive chess computer, can we beat an AI that is designed to grab our attention? If we have these big problems understanding ourselves, how do we deal with an AI that has no problems understanding us? These are important questions that are already taking shape around us.

If we want to have a full life in this world filled with advanced technology, we will have to learn to relate to this new world. This is a skill and it has to be learned. Fontys University is running a program called Technophilosophy to do just that. The program learns students that relating to technology is very important and can also be fun!
