AI Perspectives
In this article, we would like to highlight some presentations, panel discussions, podcasts, and interviews that Dr Jacques Ludik has participated in over the last few months (latter part of 2020 and early 2021). Apart from sharing my own AI perspectives on various topics, what we have also learned a lot from other insightful perspectives (especially the panel discussions). In some of these video material (especially in the first 4 listed below), Dr Jacques Ludik also references some aspects of a more decentralized beneficial human-centric future where AI and its benefits can be democratized to as many people as possible as a prelude to his most recent book “Democratizing Artificial Intelligence to Benefit Everyone“.
