There are concerns about expanding use of the advancing capabilities of artificial intelligence, or AI, technology —including the prediction that AI will do jobs now done by millions of people. But some see AI doing more to help people than to replace them. Faculty and students in School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, part of the Fulton Schools, are exploring possibilities for AI applications to prepare food for seniors who aging in their own homes, aid people with disabilities and help people communicate more effectively. Ross Maciejewski, the school’s director, says that throughout history new technologies have taken over tasks once done by people, but he sees AI eventually creating more jobs than it eliminates. The report is also on a YouTube video on ABC 15 News Arizona and a KRDO/CNN Regional News report.
