Quantum: Game-changer or niche? (Online)
Quantum physics describes the behaviour of small particles such as atoms or photons. Recently technology has advanced to the point where this weird behaviour can be harnessed to do a wide range of things such as build powerful quantum computers, ultra-sensitive sensors, incredibly precise clocks and unhackable communications. This talk will provide an up-to-date view of quantum, with an honest appraisal of the outlook for this fascinating area with an emphasis on communications.

The Problem with Art: why art is so often a failure case for AI and why this is important
The spectacular success of AI has recently splashed across the news, social media, and look set to pervade everyday life for many. Research journals and conferences are replete with machine learning that involve ever greater varieties of neural architectures. Machines can synthesize speech, language, pictures to the point where serious ethical - even legal - issues arise. It is all very impressive, and on occasion perhaps unsettling. And yet AI struggles with art.
