AI4Progress is a series\u00a0 of four conferences curated by Luciano Floridi in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute of New York. Each conference addresses a crucial area for human progress.<\/p>\n

Education:<\/strong> September 22, 6:30 PM \u2013 RSVP<\/a>
\nHealth:<\/strong> October 13, 6:00 PM \u2013 RSVP<\/a>
\nEnvironment:<\/strong> October 29, 6:00 PM \u2013 RSVP<\/a>
\nBusiness:<\/strong> November 9, 6:00 PM \u2013 RSVP<\/a><\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence carries risks, some of them serious, which we do not intend to overlook; but history has shown that technological innovation cannot simply be halted, so the more productive question is how this technology can be governed and directed towards human progress rather than allowed to undermine it. Each evening therefore brings together two speakers with distinct \u2013 and sometimes contrasting \u2013 perspectives, in a conversation meant to be substantive, lively, and accessible to a general audience.<\/p>\n

The format calls for Luciano Floridi to open each event with a fifteen-minute introduction to frame the topic. This is followed by a panel moderated by the Director of Italian Cultural Institue, Claudio Pagliara. The discussion will be followed by an extensive Q&A with the audience.<\/p>\n
