Tulane AI professor to speak with inventor of the World Wide Web at New Orleans Book Festival
Nicholas Mattei finds it kind of weird that everyone is now talking about artificial intelligence all the time. He’s been studying it for years. Still, he is always up to talking about it more, which he will do again at this year’s New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane University.
Mattei, an associate professor of computer science in the School of Science and Engineering at Tulane and co-director of the Center for Community-Engaged Artificial Intelligence, has spent most of his career studying AI, machine learning and data science, fields now in the public spotlight with the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude.
At New Orleans Book Festival this year, he will discuss those topics and more when he moderates a panel with Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Lady Rosemary Leith Berners-Lee, co-founders of the World Wide Web Foundation. Sir Tim Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist best known for inventing the World Wide Web, which led to today's internet. Last year, he published a book on the topic, “This Is for Everyone: The Unfinished Story of the World Wide Web.”
