On Monday 4th December, we welcomed Stephen Roberts, Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Oxford, who delivered the termly Ada Benson Lecture. In his lecture, he unravelled the mysteries of artificial intelligence (AI).
As the use of AI becomes increasingly pervasive, questions surrounding the rationale behind endowing machines with decision-making capabilities have become more pertinent than ever. Professor Roberts, who holds a prominent position in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, addressed this crucial issue during his lecture.
The audience was captivated as Professor Roberts unravelled the intricacies of AI’s decision-making processes, providing valuable insights into the rationale behind granting machines the ability to make choices.
The Ada Benson Lecture series gives our Year 12 and 13 students the platform to organise and host a lecture with a high-profile guest on topics that enrich their education beyond the curriculum. This serves as an excellent leadership opportunity for students and offers the school community the chance to come together.
