AI: Where We’ve Been and Where We’re Going 🤖 - A Tapped In Talks With Ben Byford

A lecture in a pub with a nice cold beverage... what more could you want? 🍻 We're swapping whiteboards for bar stools and boring PowerPoints for pints.

Join Ben Byford, expert in AI and tech culture, for a thought-provoking exploration of AI’s evolution. From early computing and expert systems to today’s cutting-edge AI models like LLMs and Stable Diffusion, this talk covers it all. Dive into the history of AI, its ethical implications, and its future, including the controversial “AI bubble,” transhumanism, UBI, and the potential for a world without work. 🚀💻

This isn’t just a tech talk; it’s a glimpse into a new world. Whether you’re a techie, a futurist, or someone simply curious about where AI is headed, this is a session you won’t want to miss!

What You’ll Learn 📘
