Jeffrey Carroll Presents ‘Go Fast and Break Things’ in Next Lecture-Concert Series Event
JONESBORO – Arkansas State University is set to host the next presentation in the annual Lecture-Concert Series. This lecture will be free to the public at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb 6, in the third-floor auditorium of the Carl R. Reng Student Union.
Dr. Ryan Sullivan, chair of the Lecture-Concert series, explains this as an event that shows the public "leaders of diverse backgrounds."
The series serves audiences of many interests including philosophy, entrepreneurship, music, racial identity, health professions and theatre.
Philosopher Dr. Jeffrey Carroll, assistant professor in the John Chambers College of Business and Economics at West Virginia University, will present at the next Lecture-Concert event with his presentation “Go Fast and Break Things.”
He holds a doctoral degree in philosophy from the University of Virginia, a master's in philosophy from Georgia State University, and a bachelor's in philosophy and political science from Ohio State University.
He has had multiple pieces published in respected publications such as the Journal of Philosophy and Economics, Research in Journal of Politics, and Social Theory and Practice.
Carroll plans to present a lecture titled "Go Fast and Break Things." This lecture will revolve around the ethical concerns surrounding artificial intelligence.
The phrase “move fast and break things,” introduced in Silicon Valley, sparked his interest in the topic. It is often used by tech experts to share the idea that cutting-edge technology requires rapid progress to stay ahead of the curve.
Carroll will show how relevant academic research is to the real world and how AI might take over our jobs, but why that’s not necessarily bad.
