AI and Your Best Self

What if AI could learn to see the world the way you do? Artificial intelligence is breaking free of chatbots and computer screens and moving into the physical world around us. Next-generation AI systems are learning to see, understand, and act in the world the way a person would. In this Hot Science - Cool Talks, pioneer Dr. Kristen Grauman will explore how these systems will one day coach you through a new skill, guide you through an unfamiliar place, or help with everyday tasks by watching and offering real-time feedback, making personalized learning more accessible. Join us for a look at a future where AI is a part of your environment, helping everyone learn, discover, and navigate the world more easily. Arrive early and explore Cool Activities from 5:30 - 6:40! Local organizations will share exciting hands-on activities related to the talk! List of activities coming soon!
