DATA SCIENCE & AI
Data is everywhere and it contains hidden secrets - you can uncover them with Data Science
It was an action packed day as the conference culminated with sessions on data science and AI. It was fantastic to be joined by Prof Jesse Thaler, MIT’s Director of The National Science Foundation who presented, “Collision course – AI meets Fundamental Physics”. He talked about deep learning technologies; whether we can teach a machine to think like a physicist; dynamics of Jet formation as well as the fundamentals of physics such as dark matter and astrophysics. Jesse concluded by asking “what principles and strategies from physics could be incorporated into your research in data science and AI?” Let us know what you think in the comments below.
BT’s head of AI and Data Science Detlef Nauck introduced everyone to Data Science & AI within BT. Did you know, BT has the largest AI patent portfolio in the UK and that there are currently over 30 AI activities across BT Research? How amazing is that!
Prof Michael Luck, Kings College London, gave a perspective of AI, stating that you have to solve “The Turing Test” to determine when a machine is determined to be intelligent. He also explored the need for trust; the need for interaction and the need for transparency and accountability.
A lively debate with lots of challenging questions from the audience discussed “How do we know that AI does the right thing?”. Jesse, Detlef and Michael were joined by PwC UK’s Maria Axente and University of Essex’s Prof Lorna McGregor.
The conference was a massive success with over 900 participants from BT, academia and industry. It was recorded and you’ll see some highlights over the next few weeks, so make sure you catch them. Thank you to all those that attended and supported these amazing 5 days.
