Tuesday, September 10, 2024, 6.30pm to 8.30pm PDT
The Cambridge Bay Area Ring and Cambridge in America (CAm) invite you to a book talk and reception with Professor Neil D. Lawrence, author of Atomic Human: Understanding Ourselves in the Age of AI, a visionary new book on the evolution of human and machine intelligence.
The book reveals the technical origins, capabilities and limitations of AI systems, and how they should be wielded; not just by the experts, but also ordinary people.
An informal reception will follow the talk. This event is kindly hosted at the office of the CAm Bay Area Advisory Committee member Ronjon Nag (Wolfson 1984).
We look forward to seeing you there!
Professor Neil D. Lawrence is the inaugural DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge where he leads the University’s flagship mission on AI, ai@cam. He has been working on machine learning models for over 25 years. He returned to academia in 2019 after three years as Director of Machine Learning at Amazon. His main interest is the interaction of machine learning with the real world. This interest was triggered by deploying machine learning in Africa, where ‘end-to-end’ solutions are normally required. This has inspired new research at the interface of machine learning and systems research, funded by a Senior AI Fellowship from the Alan Turing Institute. Prof Lawrence is a Visiting Professor at the University of Sheffield and the co-host of the Talking Machines podcast.
