  • The Evolution of AI: From Neural Networks to Foundation Models

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decades, beginning with the development of neural networks that enabled machines to learn patterns from data. The rise of deep learning in the 2010s, fueled by advances in computational power and large datasets, unlocked breakthroughs in image recognition, speech processing, and natural language understanding. Building on these foundations, the introduction of transformer architectures paved the way for foundation models—large, pre‑trained systems such as GPT and BERT—that can be adapted to a wide range of tasks with minimal fine‑tuning. This evolution reflects a trajectory from specialized models to general‑purpose AI systems, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. Foundation models demonstrate unprecedented scalability and versatility, but they also raise concerns about bias, explainability, energy consumption, and governance. As AI continues to advance, the integration of ...

  • Trusting the Machine, Empowering the Human: Navigating the Age of Human-AI Symbiosis

    This talk will first set explore the current state of Responsible AI and its implications for public trust in an increasingly AI-enabled society. Citizens are being asked to place trust in AI-enabled services, decisions, and institutions, yet perceptions of trustworthiness remain shaped by concerns over transparency, accountability, fairness, and human oversight. This talk will review the changing nature of work and the emergence of human-AI teaming, where humans and intelligent systems operate as collaborative teams with varying degrees of autonomy and agency. It examines how authority, responsibility, and decision-making could be negotiated within these relationships, and considers the skills needed to flourish in an agentic world. The presentation concludes by identifying key research challenges for creating trustworthy, human-centred AI ecosystems that deliver societal value while maintaining public confidence and meaningful human control...
