Cody Chomiak: Human Rights and AI

"AI is likely to be either the best or the worst thing to happen to humanity” - Stephen Hawking


Cody Chomiak, a recognized voice in the field of artificial intelligence, and the Vice President of Marketing, Travel Manitoba shares his thought provoking comments on how AI is changing the world before our very eyes. Chomiak reminds us that what was once science fiction, we now carry systems powered by AI in our pockets and wear them on wrists.



Although Chomiak recognizes the risks that can dampen the considerable possibilities that AI presents, he is a strong advocate that the promise of AI to improve our lives, especially for those who experience human rights challenges due to physical or mental barriers. Driverless cars providing access to transportation for those with physical disabilities to Google glasses that allow those with visual impairment to read text in any language.


Cody highly recommends Dr. Joy Buolamwini’s book Unmasking AI and the Dean of MBA at NYU Stern School of Business, Connor Grennan’s Quick Start Guide to Understanding AI.
