Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology.
Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker.
We’ll be joined by Ediz Akcay on Tuesday 3 March from 7:30 - 9:00 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm).
The Dark Side of Personalisation: AI, Voice Recognition and Beyond.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that…” - a famous line from 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which the AI software HAL rebels to take control of the spaceship. We are now far beyond the year 2001 and we already have our own AI-supported voice recognition devices in our pockets, houses, and cars, used by adults and children alike. Luckily, they do not rebel against our commands - yet. These devices bring advantages in convenience and accessibility, playing a song has never been easier, but at what cost? Join us to discuss the ethics of the many new ways that companies listen to, track and store information about us using voice recognition and AI.
You’ll find us at Cafe Boscanova on the first Tuesday evening of the month.
