Nearly two years have passed since ChatGPT first launched, sparking a worldwide debate over the potential and opportunities of artificial intelligence.
But what tangible progress have we made? And how is AI already enhancing our daily lives?
Join The Independent’s technology editor Andrew Griffin and his deputy Anthony Cuthbertson as they explore these questions in a compelling panel discussion that goes beyond the hype.
As part of our Virtual Events series, our expert panel will reflect on the most significant AI developments from 2023 and 2024 and highlight how they are positively shaping the future.
Amid consistent discussions about the risks of AI, it’s also essential to recognise the technology’s vast potential to improve various aspects of our lives — from advancements in healthcare to innovations in education and entertainment. With this in mind, our panel will examine the many ways AI is creating opportunities and fostering progress.
Joining Andrew and Anthony will be machine learning scientist Catherine Breslin, known for her deep expertise in AI and voice recognition technologies. With her insight, the discussion promises to illuminate the exciting opportunities AI presents today and in the years to come.
Also on the panel is Neil Maiden, Professor of Digital Creativity at Bayes Business School and Director of the Institute for Creativity and AI at City St George’s, which works closely with funding bodies, businesses and other types of organisations to understand the new challenges posed by AI technologies, and offer novel solutions to improve creative work.
The event will be hosted via Zoom and will last one hour, offering attendees the chance to engage with the panel and ask questions directly. It is set to take place on December 5, starting at 7pm GMT.
