Trinity Hall Spotlights: AI
After a year of fascinating insights and reflections into the world of outer space, this year we return to Earth to explore the rapidly evolving world of machine learning and AI.
What do we mean by AI? What is the technology which is powering generative machine learning and other computer systems capable of performing tasks which have relied on human intelligence?
Generative text and search tools have been widely adopted, computing and coding power has exploded and researchers and businesses are rapidly developing useful new tools for their work. But there are also fears of the machines becoming more powerful than humans, or less apocalyptically but still of concern, doing away with jobs, dulling the human habit of thinking, and riding roughshod over creative and intellectual ownership.
This series of events will explore these questions. What are the opportunities for business and science? What are the challenges, ethical and economic, to our current social models? What does it mean for academia, for how we teach and research, and for the creative industries?
Through different academic, business and ethical perspectives, we hope you’ll gain insight into an innovation which is changing our world.
