From Hype to Hope Beyond the AI Horizon
Dr Benjamin Rosman (Professor in AI and Robotics - Wits)
Episode Description In our latest session, Jacqueline Aitchison (Education Incorporated) sat down with Prof. Benjamin Rosman (University of the Witwatersrand University) for a compelling conversation on the implications of artificial intelligence.
Judging by the strong attendance and online engagement, it’s clear this topic struck a chord with our community. The occasional gasps and audible “yikes” from the audience spoke volumes—this was more than just an academic discussion; it was eye-opening.
One of the key takeaways was just how much we might be underestimating AI’s potential to eventually replace—and even surpass—human capabilities. Yet, on a more optimistic note, we may also be undervaluing the ethical frameworks emerging within AI systems themselves. Encouragingly, these systems can, in some cases, demonstrate ethical decision-making—even when humans attempt to exploit them.
