NEIL LEACH -
ALIEN INTELLIGENCE:
THE ACCIDENTAL HISTORY OF THE FUTURE

What exactly is going on?
The past few months in the history of AI have
been extraordinary.

There have been remarkable leaps forward in
terms of technology, with AI becoming capable
of extraordinary tasks. Meanwhile we have
witnessed what is little short of a soap opera,
with Elon Musk suing Sam Altman and OpenAI,
and appeals been made asking everyone to slow
down.

This lecture looks at the accidental history of AI,
whose recent breakthroughs have thrust us into
an AI fuelled future, perhaps before we are ready.
Have we already reached AGI? And will AI solve
all our problems, or lead to the collapse of
civilisation?
