Like it or not, artificial intelligence is starting to impact
your life. Machines that have learned how to perform
a task - or a huge range of tasks - better than humans
are proving to be an invaluable resource.

AI is now assisting with your online shopping,
answering your questions in virtual call centres,
routing your deliveries, diagnosing disease from your
medical scans, finding you a taxi and much more.

Soon it may be driving your car and helping out
around your home. Some see this as a coming utopia;
others as an impending disaster. Whatever the truth,
we will soon have difficult choices to make:

Do we let AI make decisions about firing weapons?
Is it ok to let AI put people out of work?
How far should we go in developing intelligent
machines - should we aim to equip them with
feelings and a sense of self?

Join us at our one-day masterclass for a journey
through the fascinating world of AI and give your own
intelligence an instant upgrade.
