Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Nobel Turing Challenge is a grand challenge aiming at developing a highly autonomous AI and robotics system that can make major scientific discoveries, some of which may be worthy of the Nobel Prize and even beyond.
With highly competent AI systems that are capable of planning and communicating their research questions and outcomes, it is conceivable that the Nobel Committee may give an award to an AI system without noticing that it is indeed an AI, not human. A possible future scenario is that AI scientists make scientific discoveries so distinctively different from any human scientist, which would signify the emergence of an alternative form of science.
