The Canadian Club of Victoria’s November meeting features a presentation by Rich McCue from the University of Victoria on demystifying Artificial Intelligence, from self-driving cars to ChatGPT.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), once relegated to the realm of science fiction, has become a vital component of our everyday lives. From the smart assistants in our phones to autonomous vehicles, AI is transforming our world. As AI continues to evolve and expand its capabilities across different sectors, it also prompts ongoing discussions about its societal impact. Understanding these aspects can help demystify AI, shedding light on both its potential and its limitations.
Rich McCue hails from Victoria, BC, and oversees the University of Victoria Libraries’ Digital Scholarship Commons (DSC). He holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master of Arts in Education. Rich also serves as a sessional instructor in the Faculty of Education, teaching courses on educational technology, multimedia, online learning, and a course entitled “Learn to Make Anything.” The DSC assists the UVIC community in exploring and conveying their ideas beyond text, enabling them to narrate their research in compelling and innovative ways.
