Experts discuss Artificial Intelligence at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Symposium
HUNTSVILLE, Ala (WHNT) — Artificial intelligence, more commonly known as AI is one of our nation's hottest topics.
That's no different here in North Alabama as the U.S. Space and Rocket Center hosted its second AI Symposium.

'We all have a role to play in figuring out where we want AI to go and what we're comfortable with, and, crucially, what we're not comfortable with,' Andrew Miller said.
He is a clinical lecturer of law from Yale Law School. Miller said we will soon see AI in the courtroom.
'So whether it's the judge side or the actual lawyer side, you're going to see AI playing a role throughout the legal system, and it's important that we decide again where we like that, where we don't, and how to regulate it,' he said.

When it comes to the fear of artificial intelligence replacing jobs, he wants people to think about what they can bring to the workforce as humans.
'I would encourage people who are worried about this not to change their minds, but to use this as an opportunity to, to think about the role they play, not just in their companies, but in their communities and where they, as humans really add value,' he said.
Kristianna Berger is a student at the Alabama School of Cyber Technology and Engineering. She was one of many who asked great questions.
'Learning how it's used in law and also how does that affect the workforce?' she asked. 'How is it going to, you know, we say replace our jobs…. is that really true and how is it going to affect our futures?'
While our technology has come miles, even Miller said there is still a long way to go before we perfect Artificial Intelligence and all the questions it brings.
'The legal questions of how the responsibility works are really complicated and deserve serious, sustained attention,' Miller said. 'I think it'll take a little while before we figured out what we think the right answer is.'
The symposium will continue through Thursday and walk-in registration is available if anyone would like to attend.

Is AI killing B2B marketing? The great AI debate to be settled live at B2B Ignite 2025
B2B marketing leaders to face off in a live, boxing-style debate, with the audience, and AI itself, deciding the winner B2B Ignite 2025 Graphic LONDON, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It's a huge debate at the moment in the B2B industry: whether or not Artificial Intelligence is killing B2B marketing. At B2B Ignite – B2B Marketing's flagship conference and networking event – on 2 July 2025, a panel of experienced marketing experts will be debating both sides of this ongoing industry conflict. Some are vehemently against it, claiming that it dries up creativity, takes away the vital human touch, and ultimately means we are all outsourcing our brains to a machine. And it's a pretty compelling argument – audiences have reported that seeing droves of LinkedIn posts that all look and sound the same quickly becomes a turn-off. However, some are passionately for AI – they claim that if B2B marketers are using it in the right way, it can actually free up more time to get creative and strategic, and in doing so, improve the human touch that is so desperately needed. The 'for' side will feature: Rhiannon Blackwell, ABM Leader, Global Marketing Organisation, at PwC Ben Lee, Head of Data & AI at Bidwells Catherine Dutton, VP, Global Growth Marketing at Pegasystems The 'against' side will feature: Chris Wade, Chief Marketing & Product Officer at Gamma Alex Bacon, Marketing Director Luca Di Giuseppe, Head of Digital and Growth Marketing at Tata Consultancy Services But this won't be your average conference session. The Great AI Debate will be hosted in the style of a boxing match (without anyone throwing actual punches – we hope!). Each debater will have a strict time limit to answer a key question about AI, before a debater from the opposing side gets a chance to rebut. At the end, the audience will vote to decide which side's argument was more compelling. And there's a twist: there will be an extra debater, in the form of AI itself. For B2B marketers wanting to stay ahead of the curve in the age of AI, this session is a must-attend. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of AI's potential, but also the risks and blind spots to avoid. B2B Ignite takes place in London on 2 July 2025. Learn more and register here.
