Joanna Bryson advises governments, corporations, and other agencies globally, particularly on AI policy.
Now, she will speak at fast-growing discussions on AI, the open seminar #frAIday, hosted by researchers at Umeå University. Ever since the seminar started, it has gained more and more interest, not only from AI researchers, but also from participants from other academic disciplines, businesses, and industries.
Joanna Bryson’s talk, “Is there an AI Cold War?”, which will be held on the 8th of October will document and address claims of a new AI Cold War – a binary competition between the United States and China that is too important for other powers to ignore.
“Even though I have myself indicated that I don’t really see the benefit of war, race, or narrative to describe AI international developments, I am looking forward to hearing Dr. Bryson's analysis! We are delighted to have Joanna Bryson with us in Umeå at #frAIday, says Virginia Dignum.
