Royal Institution Christmas Lectures

How to Build an Intelligent Machine (2023x1)

Air date: Dec 26, 2023

Mike Wooldridge examines artificial intelligence, one of the most important and rapidly evolving fields of science in the world today, tackling the big questions facing AI research and unravels the myths about how this groundbreaking technology really works. In this lecture, Mike will examine real-life neurons in action, and explain how artificial neural networks are inspired by neural structures in the brain. To demonstrate how AI learns, he'll watch drones as they are trained to recognise and fly through structures in the lecture theatre autonomously.
