Arts·AI Week

What, exactly, does 'AI' mean in our world today — and how will it change tomorrow?

Today is the first day of Commotion's AI week! To help kick off this special week of programming, tech journalists Melissa Heikkilä and Alyssa Bereznak join host Elamin Abdelmahmoud for a discussion about what, exactly, artificial intelligence is, how the field of AI has changed and progressed over the last few years, and its potential in the world of the future. Plus, Elamin shares his thoughts on the line between the capabilities of AI and humans (with a little help from Nick Cave).
