On Tuesday morning, 07 Nov 2023 we welcomed Tim Philp as our Guest Speaker. Gail Bouw introduced him to us (see bio in "Read More"). Tim gave an interesting and thought-provoking talk on the issues surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI). References to science fiction movies and books abounded, showing how eerily prescient fiction can be. He explored the benefits of AI in efficiency and productivity improvements. He also explored some of the risks of a technology that might have unforeseen implications to humans. Q- was this sentence written by ChatGPT?Our own technology guru, Paul Zorad provided a thank you to Tim.
