It was a wonderful privilege to get to speak as part of the Global Skills PG Talks series again this year, with my talk "2035 and the Future of AI". A lot his changed for me since I gave my first talk in January 2024, but it has lead to this talk being full of new experiences for me.

These new experiences included the challenges of delivering a talk virtually, the lack of a physical (live audience) and trying to decide what elements to keep and cut as the world of AI and what we can do with it evolves.

I'd like to thank the GRC for inviting me to speak as part of their talk series again, and I would love to make it a 3/3 next year.

I am really excited to share this. Come check out my latest talk at the CodeHarbour Tech Meetup!!! I'll be giving a talk on using AI to change the way we make presentations. Check out more about the event and the other speakers at https://codeharbour.co.uk/.

Yesterday, I gave a talk entitled `2035 and the Future of AI` to Postgraduate students as part of the Kent GRC Global Skills series. I combined my love of research, film, poetry, and comedy into this exciting talk.

I designed this talk as an engaging, innovative, and entertaining exploration of the growing presence of AI in our lives. I taught some key concepts about prompt engineering, diffusion models, and the usage of large-language models, culminating in some of my predictions about the future of AI.

I've written and delivered similar talks, such as `Can AI Stand-Up? to students, pub audiences, and corporate conferences.

I am keen to continue sharing my knowledge in this unique 'Tommy-Talk' performance-lecture format, so if you or anyone you know may find this appealing, please DM me

I had such a great time hosting the 'AI in Academia' Panel for University of Kent's Graduate and Researcher College (GRC) Conference!

Some exciting discussions and exciting questions and I can't wait to see how these conversations develop over the next few years.

I am honoured to have been awarded a commendation for the Kent Union Above and Beyond Awards 2023 for 'Brilliant Research-Based Education'.

This award celebrates a member of staff who educates students about the latest, cutting-edge knowledge or who enables taught students to create knowledge by conducting their own research. They keep their session content on the cutting edge of research, ensuring that their students are aware of what is going on in their field of interest and that students graduate with a good understanding of the latest developments and issues in their field of study.

I had an absolute blast performing at Kent's Pint of Science Festival on Tuesday! 'Can AI's Stand Up?' is becoming an ever more important question as AI continues to advance and I'm in a very fortunate position where I get to share my experiences with AI and Stand-Up Comedy, to help us all try and answer that question.

I am available to perform this talk for schools, colleges, universities and the public. This talk is perfect for computer science experts, people in education or members of the public. DM me if interested.

I am excited to announce that I will be hosting a panel at the 'Graduate and Researcher College's Annual Postgraduate Conference 2023'.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, everyone seems abuzz with how it will affect different aspects of our work and personal lives.
The panel is on "How does AI affect Academia?".

I am excited to announce that I will be performing a talk on AI-generated Stand-Up Comedy at the University of Kent's Pint of Science Festival 2023! Alongside some other excellent researchers from other disciplines throughout the university.

Pint of Science is a non-profit organisation in its 10th year of bringing research to the general public. Every year it runs The Pint of Science Festival, which is an international public engagement festival taking place from May 22nd-24th this year. The University of Kent has run 18 events since 2017 (with a hiatus for COVID) amounting to >1000 tickets sold. In 2023, 27 countries and ~500 towns/cities will take part, with 39 in the UK. held over 600 events, increasing to 40 cities/towns in 2020.

Hello World! My name is Tommy Pargeter-Grey and I am a STEM communicator, focusing on Mathematics, Computer Science and AI content. I say STEM communicator, but some would be more likely to say Ridiculous Idiot, who enjoys making little videos about fun topics. This is my first video, but more content will follow very soon!
