Artificial Intelligence (AI)  has moved from the labs of major tech companies into the awareness of most of us.  But few of us know what AI is, how it works, and the potential and risks it presents.  Faculty from the School of Design at Rochester Institute of Technology are at the forefront of using AI in game design, product development, advertising, and film creation.  The panel will discuss their work, the future of AI, and the opportunities and challenges it makes available.
