I had a great time at the Capital Region Artificial Intelligence Day where I participated in a “Fireside Chat” with NPR’s David Guistina!

I recently did a talk for an audience I don’t often get to reach: people who work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The aim of the talk was to provide a framework for thinking about the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence to scaffolding autonomy. The conversation after the talk was very rich. https://nyalliance.org/index.php
