|
Computing is experiencing a moment of tremendous uncertainty. Is generative AI just the latest in a series of technological advances that periodically disrupt the practice of computing, or is it something more significant? Our panelists will engage the audience in a discussion of the impacts of AI on computing— and computing education—and how we can try to prepare for what is still to come. |
