This session will explore the relationship between the fast development of AI applications affecting people’s lives and the competencies that they need to acquire to benefit from such technology. After a general overview of what we can expect from technology  (what AI is already capable of, which are the trends and the limits etc.), the speakers will delve into the significant implications for ordinary people by offering real case studies and personal experiences with AI.

The discussion will also cover topics such as the collection of personal data, ownership of AI, and the balance between public interest and private gain.
