“AI: Promise or Peril? Why Not Both!”
Speaker: Dwight Silverman
Description: Don’t fear the AI, but rather respect its capabilities and its dangers. No tech product in history has had the kind of uptake that generative AI has, with tens of millions of people using it less than a year after its debut. Proced with caution, but also optimism.
Dwight Silverman worked at the Houston Chronicle for more than 30 years, mainly as a tech reporter/columnist/editor. He was also the Chronicle’s first online news editor, the founder of its blogging network and its first social media manager. Along the way he also managed its subscriber website for a while. He retired in 2021, twice: Once from the Chronicle, and again after a seven-month stint as a paid-newsletter writer at Forbes.
These days he’s kinda retired, back to writing his weekly personal tech column at the Chronicle and doing occasional freelance pieces there.
