Does artificial intelligence (AI) fill you with excitement, curiosity, or just a touch of unease?

Does artificial intelligence (AI) fill you with excitement, curiosity, or just a touch of unease?

As it attracts ever more media excitement, corporate investment, and even some Nobel Prizes, it is rapidly transforming the way we live in both positive and negative ways. It is enhancing science and technology and helping us transition to a low-carbon, healthy and prosperous future. However, it is also challenging our trust and democracy, it is built upon ballooning energy consumption and seeing inequality of access to its benefits.

Like any other rapidly growing technology, AI needs an informed public debate on both the advantages and the risks it poses now and in the future.

Join Professor Bill Oxbury from Lancaster University, a former leader in AI research and implementation for the UK government, as he shares his expertise and sparks a discussion about the future of AI.
