OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The good news is that there is now an active debate about AI safety and Responsible AI, particularly since generative AI captured the imagination of governments and the public following the spectacular launch of ChatGPT.

The main debate now seems to be between those in favour of regulation and those arguing for self-regulation because, they claim, regulation will stifle innovation. But is it really that simple? Don’t we all have a critical role to play in shaping the future of this powerful technology which will help to determine the future of society and the world we live in?
