Abstract: AI advancements and large language models present remarkable opportunities in science and 

technology, and is likely a tool that will enhance laboratory operations. However, the emergence of this technology, expected to become the new norm, raises concerns about biases in training data sets, ethical issues, and socio-economic considerations. This seminar will provide a platform to explore these topics and their connection to inclusivity and equity. 

In this engaging talk, big data scientist, author, and algorithm expert Cathy O’Neil breaks down the headlines around the newest generation of AI tools, ChatGPT. With her trademark humor and gift for making scientific language accessible, Cathy dispels the myths around whether to celebrate – or fear – these new tools, and how individuals and organizations can use them for maximum benefit while minimizing harm.
