This Friday (2/04), from 2:20-3:10pm, at the Seminar in Advances in Computing, Professor Michael Wooldridge from the University of Oxford will give a talk entitled "Artificial Intelligence – Fact and Fiction". This talk is related to his recent book "A brief history of artificial intelligence: what it is, where we are, and where we are going.""

 Abstract

Long regarded as an impossible dream, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now an everyday reality. Advances in AI regularly make headline news, and the steady advance of AI looks set to change our world dramatically. In this lecture Professor Michael Wooldridge explores the reality of AI today: what makes AI work after half a century of effort, what is possible, and what the implications are for all of us.
