What can we do about 'evil AI' | Staffan Truv | TEDxGteborg

AI can be a transformative power for good, but also a tool for bad.

Staffan has co-founded more than a dozen high tech start-ups. He holds a PhD in computer science from Chalmers University of Technology and an MBA from Göteborg University. His research interests include artificial intelligence and information visualization, and he believes AI can be a transformative power for good.
