The idea of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been engrained in the human imagination for centuries. Since the 1950s, the study, application, and the unbound potential of AI in different sectors and ecosystems has steadily grown. This growth and all-encompassing presence (whether real or imagined) invokes fear and excitement that transcends geographic and cultural boundaries. As public and private sector groups at national and international levels race to harness the full potential of AI, global disparities in knowledge and awareness, biases in sources and datasets, and ethical concerns have come to the forefront. Through the AI in Global Perspectives series, we seek to engage with scholars and specialists based in different world regions and disciplines through informal discussions. It is the goal of this series to invite the broader public to participate in these discussions. Each installment of this series will feature panelists, and in some cases, demonstration of AI application in practical terms, and be followed by robust discussion.
