As part of the Limerick Lifelong Learning Festival 2020, CONFIRM hosted a panel discussion centred around the societal impact of technological advancement.
The conversation was extremely interesting and touch on topics such as the definition of an “intelligent” machine, fake news & conspiracy theory as well as the how smart technologies can be of benefit to humanity.
