Imagining AI: A view from the archives
This one-day workshop hosted by the Bodleian Library considers modern artificial intelligence (AI) as part of a long narrative of the boundaries between human and machine.
A panel discussion from 4 to 5:30 pm, chaired by Professor Rob Iliffe, will explore how the history and philosophy of AI and computing can enrich contemporary conversations about the use of these transformative technologies.
The workshop accompanies a display at the Weston Library of items from Oxford’s collections, including manuscripts of Ada Lovelace, Mary Shelley and Christopher Strachey, and a nineteenth-century “reasoning piano”.
Reception to follow in Blackwell Hall, Weston Library.
