#45 With J. Scott Christianson
On the show today we take a deep dive into AI (Artificial Intelligence not alien intestines). We talk history, dangers & benefits, self-driving cars, a little economics, and we see what happens on a podcast when you are interrupted by a phone call. The link to one of the sites we talked about: http://learnabout.ai More about Scott from his website and links at bottom of page. Thanks for reading, please share the episode. As an Associate Teaching Professor for MU's Trulaske College of Business, I teach courses focused on information systems and project management, emphasizing critical thinking about emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT). I believe that the COVID-19 crisis has moved the future forward; transformations that might have taken decades will now take years or months, as the world's commerce and information flows are re-invented. This acceleration in the pace of change makes understanding new technologies a critical skill and empowers us to shape the future. I am recognized as a leader in applying emerging technologies in education programs and the classroom. I have received the Distance Learning Leadership Award from the Missouri Distance Learning Association, the Raymond and Mary Ann O'Brien Excellence in Teaching Award, the Bruce and Pam Walker Outstanding Faculty Service Award, and several other teaching awards from my students and peers. I am also an experienced public speaker and writer. I have authored or co-authored three books, including Virtual Classrooms, an early book about using videoconferencing for distance learning (published in the mid-90s before Zoom was cool!). This academic year, I am continuing to collaborate with colleagues in Ukraine and South Africa to deliver courses and workshops focusing on emerging technologies to audiences worldwide. Before devoting myself full-time to teaching, I owned Kaleidoscope Consulting, an information technology business. As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), I have worked on more than 400 projects worldwide. In 2012 Governor Nixon appointed me to the Board of Regents for the State Technical College of Missouri, where I was elected Vice-President and served for six years. #AI #AIBenefits #AIDangers https://www.christiansonjs.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPTIoqirZKP7bnI9h6_oymA The new mic stand: https://amzn.to/3jBTyvQ Mic I love: https://amzn.to/31ORjPU Music for all episodes by Jon Griffin.
