What Does Julius Caesar Have to Do with AI?

Description:

The fault is in our human condition, not our stars. Power, politics, ethics and storytelling are part of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Around the Globe, tea from London to Kyoto inspires socio-cultural values, traditions, and connections that have nothing to do with tea ceremony and everything to do with ethics and forgotten values we need to consider in a world developing AI. It’s not enough to seek the integration of robotics, cognitive systems and machine learning. Devoting a year to listening to global perspectives and occupations using AI around the world provided new insight in defense with an F-22 pilot, to storytelling Pixar Animation studios, to healthcare for children, material sciences, and university mechanical engineering, seeing connections across seemingly dissimilar domains.
