What’s the future for generative AI? - The Turing Lectures with Mike Wooldridge
AI can now generate human-like language and artwork - but what other doors might it open in future? And how can we harness AI to make great leaps in technology possible?
This talk was filmed at the Ri on 6 December 2023, in partnership with The Alan Turing Institute.

In partnership with The Alan Turing Institute we’ve been exploring the various angles of large-language models and generative AI in the public eye. Across three lectures, we aim to provide a comprehensive, thoughtful and engaging understanding of this rapidly emerging field and its impact on society.

Discourses are one of the Ri’s oldest and most prestigious series of talks. Since 1825, audiences in the theatre have witnessed countless mind-expanding moments, including the first public liquefaction of air by James Dewar, the announcement of the electron by JJ Thomson and over 100 lectures by Michael Faraday. In more recent times, we have had Nobel laureates, Fields medal winners, scientists, authors and artists – all from the cutting-edge of their field. Discourses are an opportunity for the best and brightest to share their work with the world.
Steeped in nearly two centuries of tradition, a Discourse is more than just a lecture. The Discourse lasts exactly an hour, and a bell is rung to mark the beginning and end. To keep the focus on the topic, presenters begin sharply at 7:30pm without introduction and we lock the speaker into a room ten minutes ahead of the start (legend has it that a speaker once tried to escape!). Some of our guests and speakers dress smartly for our Discourse events to add to this sense of occasion. Read more about Discourses here:
