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.

Drawing on three years research and publication in deployment of robotic process and cognitive automation technologies, Leslie will first critique the often conflicting accumulating evidence and predictions about the impact of automation.
