Technology's role in society
to be discussed at Purdue conference

Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, facial recognition, Internet surveillance, and data science promise to bring a new dawn of safety and insights to improve society — while simultaneously raising legitimate concerns about unforeseen consequences or malicious uses.

To spur more conversation about these issues, Purdue University is hosting a free, public two-day conference on the role of technology in society called "Dawn or Doom2: The Risks and Rewards of the New Technology Explosion."
