# Is the Thinking Machine Out of Control? Lecturer: Dr. Yuval Dror > Haifa Events **Category:** lecture ## Description Is the thinking machine getting out of control? Lecturer: Dr. Yuval Dror Artificial intelligence is extraordinarily smart and has the potential to change our lives for the better. It behaves like a human being, so we tend to talk about it and to it as if it were human. But that is the deceptive part of this revolution – artificial intelligence is a machine; it is not only smart but also amusingly and astonishingly foolish. What are the fundamental problems of AI systems? How do we make sure that artificial intelligence serves us and changes our lives for the better, rather than developing its own independent agenda that could threaten us? In what ways can we deal with this potential threat? Lecturer Dr. Yuval Dror is a sociologist of technology, media figure, commentator, and writer. One of the leading and best-known voices researching the social, moral, and cultural effects of the AI revolution. From the lecture series: The Artificial Intelligence Revolution About the series: An original and extraordinary analysis of the current and future effects of new technological developments.
