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. *SPECIAL NOTE  -* *Links to many of our previous sessions are
