SUMMARY:Could AI be the biggest thing to happen in 531 years?
DESCRIPTION:AI news is everywhere. So is misinformation\, hype\, and 
 outright fantasy. The fact that a great deal of the investment capital of 
 the United States is now riding on the "AI Boom" only makes the noise 
 around this new and radically disruptive technology more fraught. This talk 
 puts AI into historical context by comparing it to other major 
 technological breakthroughs\, such as the smartphone\, the world wide web\, 
 and the telegraph. It also compares the potential impacts of AI with 
 world-historical events such as the Industrial and American 
 Revolutions—and even something larger. Presented by Jason Opal\, Dean of 
 The Ohio State University at Mansfield.
