SUMMARY:Crossroads of Ideas: The Upside of AI Failure
DESCRIPTION:What failure in AI can teach us\, and how it can inspire innovation\, critical thinking\, and resilience.\n\n\nFailure is part of progress\, especially in the fast-moving field of artificial intelligence. This Crossroads of Ideas event\, part of our three-part mini-series on “productive failure\,” brings together David Fields (UW-Madison Department of East Asian Studies) and Rob Nowak (UW-Madison Computer\, Data & Information Sciences) to explore what happens when AI technology falls short. From real-world research that didn’t go as planned to the broader implications for society\, this conversation highlights how failures can deepen our understanding\, shape future innovation\, and help us navigate technology’s role in our lives. Together\, they’ll discuss what failure in AI can teach us\, and how it can inspire innovation\, critical thinking\, and resilience.
