May 21st: How AI Works – From Neural Networks to Large Language Models
Ian Poole and Sean Murphy
Artificial intelligence is now everywhere — but how does it actually work? In this Science Café double bill, we unpack the ideas behind modern AI in a clear, accessible way. Ian will explain how neural networks learned to recognise images, starting the deep-learning revolution that conquered the ImageNet recognition challenge. Sean will then show how the same core ideas were extended to language, leading to today’s large language models such as ChatGPT. A clear, accessible explanation of the science behind the headlines.
