Modern Prometheus: AGI as the Next Grand Human Project

Modern Prometheus: AGI as the Next Grand Human Project 03 december 2024 12:45 t/m 14:00 - Locatie: TU Delft Library, Main Hall | Zet in mijn agenda Register Are you curious about the future of artificial intelligence? Do you want to understand how Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could shape the trajectory of humanity? Join visiting professor from Norway, Dr. Matthew Landers, as he pries into the myth behind our symbolic flame in relation to history and science. In this thought-provoking presentation, Dr. Landers will begin with a critical examination of OpenAI's mission and the latent propositions within its Charter, highlighting the company's transition from a research lab to a dominant player in the AI industry, particularly after the public launch of ChatGPT. From there he will elucidate the varying definitions of “artificial general intelligence” and situate AGI within the broader context of artificial intelligence (AI) research, tracing its conceptual development and the competing paradigms that seek to define and operationalize it. Finally, we will explore AGI's role as a transformative force, paralleling historic projects like the Manhattan Project and the Apollo Program. This lecture is not just about technology; it’s about understanding the profound implications AGI holds for our future—economically, philosophically, and existentially. Free lunch included. About the speaker Dr. Matthew Landers is an Associate Professor in the Department of English Education at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. His research interests span British literature and culture of the Long-Eighteenth Century, biohumanities, history of medicine, literary studies, and critical thinking in education. Dr. Landers' work explores the intersections of literature, science, and education. He has published on topics such as transhumanism, the biology of free will, early modern anatomies and dissection, and the materialist dimensions of memory in Tristram Shandy. His current projects include a monograph on the novels of Olga Tokarczuk, in addition to articles addressing the future of artificial intelligence. His research group was recently awarded a major four-year grant from the Research Council of Norway to explore the influence of ethical and cultural values on the construction of education in Norway.

People/Portrait on the Fly live generative video exhibition

People/Portrait on the Fly live generative video exhibition 22 november 2024 16:00 t/m 08 januari 2025 18:00 - Locatie: TU Delft Library, Main Hall | Zet in mijn agenda ** Opening Reception: 22 November in the Main Hall ** Internationally renowned digital artists and professors from the University of Art and Design in Linz, Laurent Mignonneau & Christa Sommerer , will exhibit two live generated video works in the Library Main Hall. The combination will make you think twice about the self and flocking behaviors in a constantly moving society. The interactive installation, People on the Fly , consists of a monitor that shows a swarm of a few thousand flies. When a person positions himself in front of the monitor, the insects build up the contour of the person. They begin to arrange and rearrange themselves continuously, thereby creating a recognizable likeness of the individual. Posing in front of the monitor attracts the flies. Within seconds they invade the face, but even the slightest movement of the head or of parts of the face drives them off. The portraits are thus in constant flux; they construct and deconstruct. Portrait on the Fly is a commentary on our love for making pictures of ourselves (Selfie-Culture), about change, transience and impermanence. ©2015 & ©2016 Laurent Mignonneau & Christa Sommerer. Photo: Michael Maritsch, at OK Center Linz, 2022 People on the Fly ©2016, Laurent Mignonneau & Christa Sommerer About the speakers Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau are internationally renowned media artists, researchers and pioneers of interactive art. They worked 10 years in Japan as Associate Professors at the IAMAS Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences in Gifu, Japan and as Researchers and Artistic Directors at the ATR Advanced Telecommunications Research Lab in Kyoto Japan.

AI-stemassistent helpt slechtzienden digitale skills leren

Onze schermen zijn ons dierbaar. Televisie, computer, tablet, smartphone. Ze bieden veel mogelijkheden en ze zijn - vaak - handig in gebruik. Maar wat met mensen die slechtziend of blind zijn? Wordt ook aan hun behoeften gedacht bij het ontwerp van deze apparaten? Nee, zegt IO-alumnus Konrad Krawczyk. Daarom creëerde hij een AI-gestuurde spraakassistent die mensen met een slecht gezichtsvermogen digitale skills helpt leren.
