Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This one-day workshop hosted by the Bodleian Library considers modern artificial intelligence (AI) as part of a long narrative of the boundaries between human and machine.
A panel discussion from 4 to 5:30 pm, chaired by Professor Rob Iliffe, will explore how the history and philosophy of AI and computing can enrich contemporary conversations about the use of these transformative technologies.
The workshop accompanies a display at the Weston Library of items from Oxford’s collections, including manuscripts of Ada Lovelace, Mary Shelley and Christopher Strachey, and a nineteenth-century “reasoning piano”.
Reception to follow in Blackwell Hall, Weston Library.
