DESCRIPTION:Like many technologies\, AI systems are a blessing and a curse.
  Variants of AI have improved the quality of life for many people\, but at
  the same time\, some types of AI have facilitated discrimination\, violen
 ce\, and authoritarian governance. Moreover\, AI developers often design\,
  develop\, and deploy AI in an opaque and unaccountable manner. Not surpri
 singly\, many people find AI frightening\, wondrous\, confusing\, and hard
  to define. Arvind Narayan and Sayash Kapoor of Princeton University have 
 written a new book\, AI Snake Oil\, that wrestles with this technology. Th
 e book explains the l differences between types of AI\, why organizations 
 are falling for AI snake oil\, why AI isn’t an existential risk\, and wh
 y we should be far more worried about what people will do with AI than abo
 ut anything AI will do on its own. For more on the book\, see this link.  
 Tom Goldstein will interview Sayash for 25 minutes and then we open the di
 scussion to the audience for questions and comments.
