Artificial intelligence, artificial idiocy, or probability machine?

Artificial Intelligence was born in 1956, went through some awkward teenage years (also known as “AI Winters”), and then, to almost everyone’s surprise, came roaring back with tools like ChatGPT. Today, AI is the fastest-growing industry in the history of capitalism and devours around 20% of the world’s research and development (R&D) budget. That’s a lot of brainpower (artificial or otherwise).

Join Dr Karl as he connects the dots between the tech booms of yesterday, from the family car to the first home computers,  and today’s mind-bending AI explosion. Along the way, he’ll share how AI has been used to attack and discredit him, and how he’s now turning the tables to make it a Force for Good.

Expect real science stuff, genuinely funny (not artificially generated) stories, a few unexpected detours and of course, question time with prizes.
