DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is constantly in the news with sto
 ries of promise and peril. Political leaders have declared it a national p
 riority\, the global high tech industry is racing AI apps to markets and p
 olicy and governance implications of AI are in their infancy. We will expl
 ore where this is all heading.\n\nWe will begin with some definitions and 
 a bit of history behind the rise of AI. The talk will then place AI in the
  context of being a potentially disruptive technology on society. This wil
 l lead to a discussion about ethics and moral issues regarding the develop
 ment and use of aspects of AI as a dual-use technology. Time permitting\, 
 the role of AI in defence and security will be used as an example for appr
 eciating the complexity and ethical issues brought on by AI. We will then 
 turn to the role of the engineer in this new world being enabled by AI.\n\
 nFinally\, we will review potential governance and policy issues and optio
 ns to address the rapid unchecked development and application of AI within
  society at large\; and\, ultimately end with a precautionary note.\n\nCo-
