Science for Society: Cultures of Intelligence: Rethinking Human-AI Interaction Through a Global Lens
How AI Adoption Varies Across the Globe The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is growing exponentially, but it’s perceived and used differently across different societies. This APS Science for Society webinar focused on the potential harms and effective uses of AI across cultures. Kentaro Toyama, a computer scientist and international development researcher at the University of Michigan, explained how different socio-political and economic groups have been affected differently by AI and technology. For example, social media has increased political polarization because it allowed people to communicate with those they already agreed with, Toyama said.
