On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Abstract:
Recent high-profile developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have had a rare disruptive and transformative impact both in science and society. In this talk, I will give a brief history of AI and chart a number of critical advances that have enabled the current state-of-the-art technologies in AI. I will then discuss the arguments for and against the belief that current AI models are capable of reasoning and the necessity to embed strong scientific principles in the application of AI.
