Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), together with the newspaper La Razón and Telefónica Tech, have launched a series of round tables for analysis and debate in which they will explore the challenges, opportunities and challenges posed by artificial intelligence in our society, especially in key areas such as health, the economy and education. Leading academics, business experts and leaders in the technology sector will participate in the event.

This series of round tables, inaugurated last Monday, November 25 in the Salón de Grados of UC3M’s Madrid-Puerta de Toledo Campus under the title "Artificial Intelligence and Society", was moderated by José Manuel Molina López, professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at UC3M. Among the participants at the table were: Éngel Arias, rector of UC3M; Paco Marhuenda, director of the newspaper La Razón; Elena Gil, director of the IA&Big Data Business Unit at Telefónica Tech; Jesùs García Herrero, director of the Master in Applied Artificial Intelligence at UC3M; and Frankie Carrero, CEO AI Hackers.

The next meeting, focused on "Artificial Intelligence and Health", will be held this Thursday, November 28, from 12pm to 2pm, in the auditorium of the Center for Innovation in Entrepreneurship and Artificial Intelligence (C3N-IA) at the UC3M Science Park. This event will address how AI is transforming healthcare, from the analysis of symptoms and the treatment of diseases to the planning of healthcare management systems. Among the speakers at this table are José Manuel Molina López, Professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at UC3M; Antonio Artes, Professor of Signal and Communications Theory at UC3M and founder of the startup eB2; Fernando Fernández Rebollo, Professor of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at UC3M and founder of the startup InRobotics; María Muñoz, Business Development Director at Telefónica Tech; and María José Herrero Villa, head of Innovation Ecosystem Development at UC3M’s Entrepreneurship and Innovation Support Service.

The series will run until mid-December and will hold the rest of the debate at UC3M’s Madrid-Puerto de Toledo Campus. It will address a wide variety of topics related to AI, including: public transportation, autonomous vehicles and tourism (on Dec. 2); the economy, from start-ups to the automation of customs processes and the personalization of international trade (Dec. 4); the impact of AI tools on learning and the ethical challenges posed by the creation of synthetic content and authorship in education (Dec. 9). The series will end on December 16 with a round table to take stock of the topics discussed and reflect on the future of a society increasingly dependent on intelligent tools, as well as the advances and challenges associated with them.
