Summary:
Artificial Intelligence for Trust, Health, and Wellbeing,” we will explore the pivotal role AI plays at the heart of the ongoing convergence revolution, where it intersects with nanotechnology, biotechnology, IoT, and robotics. As these technologies rapidly evolve, the integration of AI offers unprecedented opportunities to enhance human life. We will delve into how AI can be harnessed to build trust by combating misinformation and disinformation, ensuring that truth prevails in an increasingly complex digital landscape. Additionally, we will examine the potential of AI-driven biosignal analysis and wearable technology, such as smartwatches, to revolutionize healthcare by enabling the early prediction and prevention of diseases. This talk will provide insights into the future of AI in fostering a healthier, more informed, and trustworthy society.
