Thursday 9 September 2021
14:00 - 15:30

Join us for the Turing's first international event series, connecting experts across borders to tackle the big questions in AI, and exploring how AI can transcend boundaries to help solve some of the greatest problems facing society today. In our first seminar, experts from The Alan Turing Institute and the Dickson Poon School of Law at King's College London will discuss the challenges facing the fields of AI and law in fighting modern slavery, and the potential for multidisciplinary collaboration.

22 - 23 September 2021

Discover how data science tools and methods can improve engineered systems at the Turing's first-ever DCEng Summit. Hear from over 60 expert speakers at this interactive virtual event, featuring topical case studies illustrating the application of data-centric methods, and the latest developments in ethics, policy and regulation.

Short description: Join The Alan Turing Institute's first-ever data-centric engineering summit as we shape and influence the global dialogue on the intersection of data science and engineering.

The Turing Lectures: What are your chances? The defining problem of AI<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turing.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Fturing-lectures-what-are-your-chances&data=04%7C01%7Csdd1%40soton.ac.uk%7Cde10d2c53fd04bd076b508d9714097a4%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637665344551513258%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=0pZKjJvSeTxuwZBV8tqPsG4JyjWfGlG%2Fw8lHHhtdgBE%3D&reserved=0>
Thursday 30 September 2021
16:30 - 18:00
Audience: Technical

We can flip a coin a thousand times to discover its probability of coming up heads, but how can we know the chances of a particular student graduating college? Cynthia Dwork, Honorary Turing Fellow and Professor of Computer Science at Harvard University, explores the problem of 'individual probability' in AI, and discusses if we can design an algorithm to predict it.

The Turing Lectures: The science of movement - Computational principles underlying the learning of sensorimotor repertoires<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turing.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Fturing-lectures-science-movement&data=04%7C01%7Csdd1%40soton.ac.uk%7Cde10d2c53fd04bd076b508d9714097a4%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637665344551523209%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=AjU%2B9xPm6nmtCRSA%2B18ObF3Kn7CfX%2B3r0MiYQOez0II%3D&reserved=0>
Thursday 28 October 2021
15:30 - 17:00
Audience: Technical

Daniel Wolpert, Professor of Neuroscience at the Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute (Columbia University), will review his team's work on how humans learn to make skilled movements, focusing on the role of context in activating motor memories. He will then present a principled theory of motor learning based on the key insight that memory creation, updating and expression are all controlled by a single computation-contextual inference.

The Turing Lectures: AI for drug discovery<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.turing.ac.uk%2Fevents%2Fturing-lectures-noor-shaker&data=04%7C01%7Csdd1%40soton.ac.uk%7Cde10d2c53fd04bd076b508d9714097a4%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0%7C0%7C637665344551533173%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=G5ifx%2BcmsGvNwVcTULRNRACE77%2Fsn9LAPFTmxEAK%2Bmo%3D&reserved=0>
