Asia Society Hong Kong Center is proud to present a conversation between Professor Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Principal of Jesus College Oxford, one of the world’s foremost computer scientists, and Jen Zhu Scott, a founding partner at IN. Capital and a leading expert and investor in artificial intelligence (AI).

In only a few short months, generative AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Midjourney have become household names around the world, prompting a competitive race to build new and better programs, as well as questions about how such programs can and should be used.  What can these new tools help human intelligence achieve, and what are the pitfalls and limits of such technologies? What lessons can we learn from the history of AI? Please join us for an in-depth discussion between two of the world’s leading AI and computer science experts of the promise and peril of generative AI.
