Have you noticed that AI is in the news a lot at the moment? It’s everywhere - last year an AI effigy was even burned in the Hastings bonfire!
This OBX Connects we’ll be joined by five speakers from Hastings, each working with AI in their own ways:
Amany Azevedo Amin will speak about her research into recreating small animal brains with Artificial Intelligence to attempt to understand how they work.
Bijan Rafraf will be taking inspiration from natural evolution to breed and mutate AIs to solve complex tasks.
Rowland Jobson will be showing an AI film, and sharing AI "bloopers" (humourous / weird mistakes AI made in the process)
Christos Hatjoullis will talk about his work with tools such as Midjourney, ChatGPT and RunwayML.
ORNAGH will share how she uses AI in her artistic practice and immersive storytelling.
After the short talks there will be space for discussion - do you love AI or hate it so much we want to see it gone forever and turned to ashes in Hastings Bonfire? Is it going to revolutionise our lives or are the robots taking over? Or has it just become as normal switching on a computer, so why all the fuss?
Should we throw AI in the bonfire? Join us and have your say!
