#633 Online: Learning and AI Tools

In this talk Cameron Sow, Chi Hack Night Board Member, will explore a paper he released this year on what learning is and how it differs from computational “learning”. We will then consider some of the implications these recognitions have for emerging technologies and society. Special attention will be paid to the unique features of the city of Chicago that make it an awesome place to learn about learning.
