Is artificial general intelligence (AGI) really imminent?
Join 2023’s Christmas Lecturer (Royal Institution of Great Britain, BBC) for a fascinating discussion on the hype vs reality of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
The panel revisits the evolution of AI over the last four years, highlighting the impressive capabilities of large language models like GPT-3. They debate what constitutes AGI, whether physical interaction with the world is essential for AGI, and how close we are to achieving it. The implications of general AI on the world of work, the economy, and specifically the UK are also examined. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on this pivotal topic.
Speakers:
Micheal Wooldridge - Professor of Computer Science, Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford and Director of Foundational AI Research, The Alan Turing Institute
Sue Black - Professor of Computer Science and Technology Evangelist, and Director of EDI in the Computer Science department at Durham University
John McDermid - Programme Director Assuring Autonomy International Programme, University of York
Charlotte Deane - Professor at the University of Oxford and Executive Chair of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
Timandra Harkness - Writer, presenter, comedian.
