This week, please join us for a rollicking and wide-ranging conversation with Assistant Professor of Philosophy & Data Science at UNC-Charlotte, Dr. Damien P. Williams on the past, present, and future of Artificial Intelligence, separating fiction and tech-bro hype from the reality in all its fascinating and flawed glory. Along the way, we discuss other reality-shifting technologies in recent history, the importance of Williams's own early access to computers and programming, and his life-long love of mind-bending science fiction.
