Should We Let Chatbots Call the Shots? Dr. David Grant • October 16, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. EasternJoin in person in Room 101, Harris Engineering Center (HEC), UCF Main Campus or by ZoomChatbots are shockingly good at making tough decisions - the kinds of decisions that most of us would only trust an expert to make. Recent studies suggest, for example, that current-get chatbots may actually be better than human doctors at determining the best course of treatment for patients with complex medical needs. As chatbots compare ever more favorably to human decision-makers, it will be increasingly tempting to simply let them make the hard choices for us. In this talk Dr. Grant will argue that we should resist that temptation. While the potential benefits of outsourcing high-stakes decisions to chatbots are considerable, so are the risks.David Gray Grant is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Florida. His research focuses on concerns about fairness and transparency that arise when institutions use machine learning to make high stakes decisions. He has developed several courses on the philosophy of artificial intelligence at UF and helped developed the curriculum for UF's AI Learning Academy, which offers professional development workshops on artificial intelligence of higher education faculty and administrators. Before joining UF, Dr. Grant was an Embedded EthiCS Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, a Senior Research Fellow at Jain Family Institute, and a Summer Research Fellow at the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society at the University of Southern California. He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from MIT.Virtual Location URL: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/Wu0K3n1LS5We7TZ_17AePg Registration Link: https://ucf.zoom.us/meeting/register/Wu0K3n1LS5We7TZ_17AePg
