AI SPEAKING TOPICS
Making New Artificial Intelligence Technology Ethical & Accurate
With today’s emerging artificial intelligence technology, humans are at another pivotal turning point within innovation. Like when the printing press, the light bulb, and the internet were all created, new artificial intelligence technology is an exciting and concerning topic among world leaders and corporate executives alike. No matter your country’s origin, artificial intelligence brings amazing benefits and concerning risks. As an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Ethics Professor, Olympia LePoint believes that Artificial Intelligence is simply a tool, and ethical standards are required to ensure people stay safe. In this talk, LePoint explains how various artificial intelligence technologies develop new innovation, the current ethical concerns regarding its outputs, and the upcoming policies needed to keep people’s identity safe.
AI Literacy – Incorporating Fun AI into STEM Educational Curriculum
How do you get students excited to learn artificial intelligence? By helping teachers, parents and students all become excited about the learning process too. This talk helps educational leaders and parents form the strategy to incorporate AI Literacy into school through Olympia LePoint’s latest book, Answers Unleashed IV – The AI Literacy Handbook. The new California Assembly Bill 2876 directs the Instructional Quality Commission to include AI literacy and media literacy content in math, science, and history-social science curriculum frameworks and instructional materials at their next revision. This talk is created to help leaders due to the new state laws that require public schools to include AI Literacy classes as a part of their core math and social studies requirements for all students. In this talk, Olympia LePoint explains AI basics:
• The definition of AI literacy
• How AI can fail, and stay safe
• AI terminology
• The history of AI
• The laws surrounding AI and biometrics
• How machine learning and LLMs work
• Ways to prevent AI bias
• Tactics to spot deepfake videos, GANS and use the right media forensics
Professionals and AI
Artificial intelligence solutions have the immense potential to improve your business, but risks can derail progress. AI development is moving at a super-fast rate, and we must stay on top of the current concerns in business. According to the ACLU, AI application tracking systems are currently not finding the right qualified job applicants. AI can fail to hire employees by perpetuating bias based on the data it’s trained on by overlooking non-traditional candidates, lacking the ability to assess soft skills like emotional intelligence, and misinterpreting resumes due to keyword-based matching. In this talk, Olympia LePoint explains the basics of AI and helps leaders use AI tools that will provide answers for professionals.
What to Expect with Civil Rights and AI
Along with judicial successes like the 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, and the hard-won legislative victories of The Civil Rights Act of 1964, there is a new civil rights movement people must know. With the new age of AI, the question arises: will civil rights still hold for women, and people of color in digital space? Will the 14th amendment still hold, and will The Civil Rights Act of 1964 still protect people when their biometric faceprint, fingerprint and voiceprint is being sold to the highest bidder? For example: Do you know how to remove your data from being used without your consent? In this timely message, Olympia LePoint will give you profound insight on what you should expect with AI, and what you should fight for within digital civil rights, in the coming digital age.
