It’s time now for the panel discussion on opportunities and challenges for driving inclusive and responsible AI.
Michael Pinchbeck on immersive performance and grief technology - where AI hits at the things that bind us by providing audiences with more ways to express agency, connect and commemorate.
Martin Parker’s asking us to think about the implications of composing and experimenting with AI in music and what this teaches us about valuable and more meaningful interactions between our digital tools and each other.
Christopher Burr on the benefits of having a plurality of tools available for assurance purposes and how open source resources support these endeavours.
Muffy Calder making the case for taxonomy. The term AI being far too broad to enable the kinds of meaningful dialogues that are now needed.
