Each lecture begins promptly at 10:30 AM and runs until 11:30 AM, with a half-hour Q&A afterward.

Modern AI brings new benefits, costs, and risks to business organizations. This creates challenges as they try to adopt AI to achieve goals while avoiding harm and damage. I'll discuss findings from my research proposing a new framing of AI as a set of machine capabilities, share what I'm learning from industry engagements, and describe an innovative interdisciplinary initiative here at U-M that's asking the Big Questions about AI.

About Saturday Morning Physics
Physics is a fundamental science and provides the foundations for solving both cosmic mysteries and practical problems. In 1995, the University of Michigan Department of Physics began sharing some of the latest ideas in the field with the public in the Saturday Morning Physics lecture series.

Designed for general audiences, the lectures are an opportunity to hear physicists discuss their work in easy-to-understand, non-technical terms. The multimedia presentations include hands-on demonstrations of the principles discussed, along with slides, video, and computer simulations
