Ever wondered how machines learn? How do we make artificial intelligence intelligent? How do we teach machines to make choices and even moral judgements, something humans do every day?

In these hour-long workshops, artist Akvile Terminaite explains some of the latest research on how humans make moral and ethical decisions and how this can be applied to artificial intelligence. You’ll then play a card game developed in association with Dr Albert Barque-Duran (Honorary Research Fellow in Cognitive Science at City, University of London), in which you’ll explore the learning process of artificial intelligence and discover the potential and limitations of it.

Fun and interactive, this is a fantastic chance to dip your toe into a world that’s going to touch all our lives over the decades to come.
