BrisScience: artificial intelligence – the science behind the hype (in person)
9 October 2023 6:30pm–7:30pm
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been so remarkable that the potential future impact of AI technology is being compared to advances such as the personal computer, the internet, or the smartphone.
The rapid progress of AI has also raised many concerns around the ethics, transparency and safe use of AI and even the big question of whether it's possible to develop truly intelligent, conscious or sentient machines.
In October's BrisScience, The University of Queensland's Associate Professor Marcus Gallagher explores how AI got to this point, discussing some of the major advances and challenges in the field.
