South by Southwest Bound and Down

This week we take a look at South by Southwest® (SXSW®) from SxSW 2008 to SxSW 2024.

Musical inspiration in title and lyrics:

Getting Informed

I submitted a proposal for a talk at SxSW 2024.

  • Title: _Have Your AI Call My AI in 2024_
  • Audience: Founders, Hackers, Enthusiasts, Tinkerers, and Dreamers
  • Format: Presentation
  • Level: Intermediate
  • Track: Artificial Intelligence

What if every human had a fundamental right to have their own AI… for the express purpose of interfacing with other AI? A decade ago, my blog post “ESTEEM is STEM plus Ethics plus Empathy” considered disruptive technologies such as AI and the need for expanding STEM to include Ethics and Empathy. Then in 2016, the blog post “Have your AI call my AI” was provoked by hyperbolic claims of AI taking over everything. Now, as we enter 2024, societal considerations for AI have shifted from hyperbole to practical impacts and the need for increased caution as well as public private governance.
