The rapid pace of artificial intelligence development and the impact it has had on our lives has been simultaneously ‘amazing’ and ‘terrifying,’ said Shawn Ramirez, the head of data science and engineering at Insight Data Science in Seattle.
From the cars that we drive to the products and systems that we use daily, intelligent systems have infiltrated every corner of our lives, and much of it has occurred just in the last five years, Ramirez told leaders in business, government, and higher education who gathered at Northeastern’s Seattle campus this week.
“It’s easy to feel overwhelmed in terms of how AI has changed and what it impacts in our lives,” she told the audience.
