Chatbot Shmatbot: AI Isn’t Just a Product, with Noah Smith
University of Washington Vice Provost for Artificial Intelligence Noah A. Smith gives a public lecture at UW Bothell on why AI should be seen as more than a commercial chatbot product. He will argue that every AI system reflects human choices about data, measurement and access, and that open AI infrastructure is essential for science, education, public service and democratic accountability.
Smith is a professor in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering and senior director of NLP research at the Allen Institute for AI. The talk is free, but registration is required.
