Sir Nigel Shadbolt at How to: Academy

The smart machines revolution is re-shaping our lives and our societies. In this conversation with Cade Metz from The New York Times, Sir Nigel Shadbolt (one of Britain’s leading authorities on artificial intelligence) will argue that we are not about to be elbowed aside by a rebel army of super-intelligent robots of our own creation. But how we control them — in our private lives, careers and politics — will determine our collective well-being.

Sir Nigel Shadbolt is one of the UK’s foremost computer scientists. He is a leading researcher in artificial intelligence and was one of the originators of the interdisciplinary field of web science. He is Principal of Jesus College Oxford and a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford. He is chairman of the Open Data Institute which he co-founded with Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He is the co-author of The Digital Ape, a lucid, well-informed approach to the smart machines revolution.

The talk will take place at the Emmanuel Centre in London. Tickets range from £15 to £30 via the How to: Academy website.
