Unpacking the AI Survival Kit – high school workshop
May 30 @ 16:30
Free
Audience: Ambitious high school students with a creative mindset
Abstract: This workshop will take a more in-depth look at some of the creative ways to approach solving problems that will be raised in Po-Shen’s public lecture on “Using maths to invent solutions to large-scale human problems, just in time to survive AI”, taking place on Wed 29 May. Attendance at the lecture is not a prerequisite — you only need to bring a creative mindset to learn how mathematical insights can bring transformational change using game theory, combinatorics and AI.
