    Is Artificial Intelligence going to take over the world?

    The foreseeable future may not be quite that dramatic, but Artificial Intelligence is playing an increasing role in our society. With support from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and MathsWorldUK we are holding a panel discussion to see where AI is already being used, what it may be capable of in future and what practical limitations there may be on what AI can achieve. The speakers will discuss how we are likely to benefit from AI in the short to medium-term future. They will also examine some of the potential problems that AI might create, and the importance of an ethical framework that AI must operate within.

    The panel of speakers will be:

    Dr Zoë Webster (Director - AI and Data Economy at UKRI)
    Prof Charles Taylor (Professor of Statistics - University of Leeds)
    Gabriela Arriagada Bruneau (Postgraduate Researcher in AI & Big Data Ethics)
    Dr Katie Chicot (CEO at MathsWorldUK)
