Televised Royal Institution Christmas Lectures 2023

Description

I participated as a televised expert in lecture 3 - in a 10 min disinformation and AI section for The Royal Institution's Christmas Lectures on The Truth about AI, in conversation with University of Oxford's Prof. Mike Woolridge, livecast with a studio audience of teenagers and watched by their parents in and production team in adjoining rooms. With 2024 set to be the year of elections worldwide (a lot are happening), I was asked to reflect on what I saw as the key issue with disinformation, AI and politics. I then participated in online chats with Schools as part of the I'm a Scientist, Get me out of here - follow on expert interactions with schools and children across the country, across jan 2024 where I answered questions about AI and about being an expert. (The aim is to inspire children to want to become a scientist, and to improve public knowledge of science.)
