Visiting Professor Brandt Redd Gives Opening Keynote Speech at ICALT Conference
More and more new technology is introduced into our lives each year. AI keeps getting better, and more information is available to us than ever before. The way we socialize online, administer medical care, and even the way we grow our food are also changing rapidly as new technologies are introduced. It’s easy to look at new advancements in technology and say, “This changes everything.” So, what doesn’t new technology, specifically AI, change?
