About this event

Humanity has given birth to a new kind of animal - a great ape with almost magical, even angelic-like powers. Whether actively or passively, we must choose whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) will empower or oppress humankind. Sir Nigel Shadbolt, Professor of Computer Science at Oxford University, will take us on a journey showing how the human race evolved in the first decades of the 21st century.
