London PhD Network Symposium on Artificial Intelligence

AI for research and research of AI

Overview

From AlphaGo to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (A.I.) is booming. As an algorithmic technology, how can A.I. help in scientific discoveries and engineering development? Can A.I. revolutionize the way we conduct research? In this symposium, we will bring together researchers in the areas of Medicine, Science and Engineering to present their frontier works and show the possibilities of using A.I. in research. Join us for free to explore the potential and risk of A.I. !
