Artificial Intelligence: An Exciting Introduction (April 2, 2021 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79958 79958-20519520@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 2, 2021 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This new study group is suitable for those who are curious about AI, but may not possess the technical background to fully comprehend its scope. We will study and understand AI’s present state, its past history and mid-term future, its game-changing capabilities, underlying technologies, and its potentially revolutionary implications. As AI continues to gain critical mass, it’s going to change forever how we work and live.

The study group will be instructor led but will leave plenty of room for robust discussion and respectful debate. Materials (relevant papers, essays) will be distributed in advance.

Instructor Deb Mukherjee has been leading study groups at OLLI since 2012.

The study group will meet Fridays from April 2 through April 30. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.

The Economic Impact of Harnessing Artificial Intelligence (November 11, 2021 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/88278 88278-21652021@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 11, 2021 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

This event is part of the Thursday Morning Lecture Series on Our Changing Economic Landscape.

Artificial Intelligence technologies are expected to have a meaningful impact on the U.S. economy. After a brief introduction of AI from a technology perspective, we will learn about anticipated effects of AI on productivity and economic growth in the U.S.
Further, how should the U.S. be thinking about policy (e.g., regulation) to address AI?

We will also review the potential global effects on economies and societies, including competition among countries, and impacts on the wealth gaps between developed and developing countries.

Our speaker, Robert Seamans (Ph.D., UC Berkeley) is an Associate Professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business and Director of the Center for the Future of Management. Professor Seamans’ research focuses on how firms use technology in their strategic interactions with each other, and also focuses on the economic consequences of AI, robotics and other advanced technologies.

His research has been published in leading academic journals and been cited in numerous outlets including The Atlantic, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and others. In 2015, Professor Seamans was appointed as the Senior Economist for technology and innovation on President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers.

Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the lecture will be e-mailed shortly before the date of the event.

What goes on behind the scenes when clinicians use these tools to provide evidence-based care? Our panel weighs in on what is important for clinicians to know and how confident they can be when using these tools. Our panelists also describe training necessary to use these tools effectively to support medical decisions.

The panel includes varied perspectives from: an engineer, a learner, a clinician, and an educator.

* Rada Mihalcea, PhD, Professor, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, College of Engineering
* Erkin Otles, Medical Scientist Training Program Fellow (MD-PhD student)
* Max Spadafore, MD, Resident, Emergency Medicine
* Cornelius James, MD, Assistant Professor, Internal Medicine & Pediatrics

The panel will be moderated by Vicki Ellingrod, PharmD, Associate Research Dean and Professor, Pharmacy.

This webinar is the third in the Precision Health educational series "Demystifying the Data, Processes, and Tools that Are Changing Clinical Care." Visit the Precision Health website to see recordings of previous webinars: https://precisionhealth.umich.edu/.

Join us for a frank discussion about the law and ethics of health research that relies on artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the impact it can have on treatment and perpetuation of health disparities. We’ll discuss legal and ethical issues related to biased algorithms, liability, regulation, data ownership, and responsible use of health data.

Incorporating perspectives from a computational social scientist (Abigail Jacobs, Assistant Professor of Complex Systems and Information, LSA) and a legal scholar with expertise in the responsible use of big data (Nicholson Price, Professor of Law), this webinar will provoke thought and provide important information to help clinicians and data scientists continue their research while also working to improve care and reduce health disparities.

The event will be moderated by Vicki Ellingrod, PharmD, Associate Research Dean and Professor of Pharmacy.

This webinar is the fourth in the Precision Health educational series: "Demystifying the Data, Processes, and Tools that Are Changing Clinical Care."
