Northumberland Learning Connection’s Fall 2019 series, AI + U, an exploration of the ethical and political issues surrounding Artificial Intelligence, runs from October 24 to November 29. Nine speakers, beginning with Ira Basen, CBC broadcaster, will look at how the world will work when robots make our decisions, manage our health care, manipulate our elections, and where our personal data is sold to the highest bidder.
