Machine Learning Applications (Henry Morris)
Machine learning, a key technology of artificial intelligence, is being
applied to a wide range of decisions across many industries and
disciplines. This talk defines machine learning and then presents examples
of its application to drive predictions in fields such as medicine,
fashion, law, real estate, and human resources (employee hiring). The
adoption of these applications is changing the workplace while also raising
concerns of bias and fairness. Henry Morris, co-author of *Augmented
Intelligence: The Business Power of Human-Machine Collaboration,* will
address these points in his presentation. Henry worked 35 years in high
tech, most recently as Senior Vice President at International Data
Corporation, the global tech market research company. Henry enjoys writing
and teaching about analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), emphasizing
the need for ethical governance and control of intelligent systems. He's
taught at Brandeis Adult Learning (BOLLI) (“Augmented Intelligence in the
Workplace: Are Humans Redundant or Essential?”) and Tufts (“AI and the
Changing Workplace”), and received a Bachelors from University of Michigan
and a Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania.
