Which Sense and Sensibility character is wiser: the sister that is all logic and restraint, or the other all feeling and intuition? 215 years later, we're having the same conversation, except now one of the sisters is a machine. While AI gives us expanded sense, it takes human sensibility to turn sense into wisdom. By exploring AI’s roots in the liberal arts, this lecture illustrates what this partnership looks like in practice: models that address human vulnerabilities, and humans who guide machines to be more sensible. Whether you are an AI skeptic, optimist, or somewhere in between, this lecture will give you a new way to envision a better world where liberal arts and AI learn from each other.
