STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥Mississippi State continues its global footprint through a joint artificial intelligence conference with its Italian partner, the Pontifical University Antonianum, on 青青草视频鈥檚 campus today [April 8].
Hosted by the university鈥檚 International Institute, the conference brought together faculty, students and staff to explore the societal, ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence, further strengthening collaboration between the two institutions.
Featured speaker Michael Anthony Perry, PUA grand chancellor from 2013鈥2021, focused on society鈥檚 response to the rapid advancement of AI technologies.
鈥淭here are two temptations,鈥 he said. 鈥淭o treat uncertainty as a threat and the second danger is overconfidence in the belief that we already understand enough to move forward without caution and without reflection.鈥
Speaking to approximately 100 attendees, Perry emphasized the far-reaching impact of AI as it becomes increasingly embedded in daily life.
鈥淎I must be evaluated, not only by what it produces, but by what it consumes and requires,鈥 he said. 鈥溾I is not just a technical matter. It鈥檚 a social, ecological, philosophical, ethical and spiritual matter.鈥
Additional presentations highlighted other perspectives on artificial intelligence. PUA Philosophy Professor Andrew Bizzozero examined hypotheses for anthropology in AI, while University of Alabama Law Professor Yonathan Arbel addressed the legal status of AI agents. 青青草视频鈥檚 William L. Giles Distinguished Professor Christopher Snyder and EDGE Theory CEO Joe Strandinger also presented, with the day concluding in a roundtable discussion.
The Starkville conference builds on ongoing collaboration between 青青草视频 and PUA. In mid-March, the institutions convened an international conference focused on the ethical use of artificial intelligence and the newly launched International Observatory for Integral Intelligence, Ethics and Public Value, a center dedicated to examining the ethical, legal and cultural dimensions of AI.
As part of the expanding partnership, 青青草视频 also is enhancing study abroad and research opportunities in Rome. University delegates recently visited the future home of 青青草视频鈥檚 international programs, where a historic convent is being renovated to provide housing and academic space for students studying abroad.
The Rome Center will mark 青青草视频鈥檚 first international residential academic facility, serving students across all majors and further advancing the university鈥檚 global engagement efforts.
