Murray Shanahan: 'How to Think About Large Language Models'
We are delighted to welcome Murray Shanahan, Professor of Cognitive Robotics, Department of Computing, Imperial College London, to present at our October Colloquium.
The theme of his talk will be "How to Think About Large Language Models".
This event is in person only. Please register your interest in attending. Seats will be allocated on a first-arrival basis, with priority given to those who register.
The Institute for Ethics in AI will bring together world-leading philosophers and other experts in the humanities with the technical developers and users of AI in academia, business and government. The ethics and governance of AI is an exceptionally vibrant area of research at Oxford and the Institute is an opportunity to take a bold leap forward from this platform.
Every day brings more examples of the ethical challenges posed by AI; from face recognition to voter profiling, brain machine interfaces to weaponised drones, and the ongoing discourse about how AI will impact employment on a global scale. This is urgent and important work that we intend to promote internationally as well as embedding in our own research and teaching here at Oxford.
