GBMs: Spring 2021

Last updated on Feb 19, 2023

This Semester's Plan

Our general body meetings (GBMs) is for those from all backgrounds and knowledge levels. In this group we explore the field of AI through discussion based meetings about ethics, history, misconceptions, deep learning, and many others from an outside perspective. AI isn't scary, and many people have negative views on it based on how the media portrays it. Our GBMs will help break this down and explore the implications of AI and where it stands today. If you enjoy high level informative discussions with your peers, learning more about AI, and meeting new people, GBMs is for you!

We usually meet, every other Tue at 06:00 PM in Online.

Be sure to check individual meeting times – as we occasionally have to stray from the schedule!

Welcome to our first GBM meeting! This meeting will be heavily discussion-based, talking about a variety of interesting AI ethical issues like use in medical fields, politics, laws limiting AI, consciousness, and creating "human" AI. This is a great way to dip your toes into a field of AI many people often joke about or just say "AI will take over the world." Can our society properly regulate and use AI in the future? Come and discuss the answers to this question!

What if "Big Brother" wasn't a person but a vastly intelligent and powerful AI that handled the larger decisions in life? With the freedom to live your life how you please, would you be willing to sacrifice your role in larger societal decisions?

Whether it be self-driving cars, facial recognition, or virtual assistants, artificial intelligence seems to be making its way into nearly every aspect of our society. With AI's migration from just science fiction into the real world, one might wonder how we got here, or where was the "hype" ten to twenty years ago? In this meeting, AI@UCF will delve into the history of AI, uncovering the major figures and milestones that led us to where we are today.
