How countries can leverage artificial intelligence (AI) ethically and fairly will be the focus of the 49th Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture, which takes place next Monday, November 25 at 6:30 p.m., at the Frank Collymore Hall.
The featured speaker is Senior Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management and the Director of MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Policy for the World Project, Dr Luis Videgaray. He previously served as both Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Finance in his native Mexico.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
“We encourage everyone who has an interest in AI, who is concerned about its implications, or who simply wants to gain a better understanding of this emerging technology to come out to this free lecture to hear from one of the leading experts in the field,” encouraged Director of Communications, Information, and Outreach at the Central Bank of Barbados, Novaline Brewster.
The Sir Winston Scott Memorial Lecture honours Barbados’ first native Governor General and is the island’s longest-running lecture series. Past speakers have included venture capitalist Nicholas Brathwaite; former Nigerian Finance Minister Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who is now Director-General of the World Trade Organisation; technology guru and philanthropist Strive Masiyiwa; and economist Professor Mariana Mazzucato.
