Listen to Professor Toby Walsh give a lecture on AI at UCT

World-renowned expert in artificial intelligence (AI) Toby Walsh, recently gave a talk at the University of Cape Town (UCT).

The talk, entitled “Will Artificial Intelligence end jobs, wars or humanity?” covered a range of topics, including technology singularity, the Third Revolution of Warfare, and even the difference between AI, autonomy, and sentience. It’s a lecture that speaks for itself (pardon the pun).

“The fact that 47% of jobs risk automation does not translate to 47% unemployed. There will also be jobs created.”

According to Professor Walsh, even the job of journalism isn’t safe from AI.
