This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2025.

Is tech working for you? Does AI scare you? Do you believe we are in the middle of the 4th industrial revolution?

In this talk, Dr Chandrima Ganguly, Lindemann Fellow and Senior Research Scientist in the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, will explore some of the remarkable advances that we have achieved in the AI and automation, why those advancements may not always feel positive, how to stop burning our planet up in the name of technological progress, and how we can build AI technologies that work for the many, not just the few.

This talk will be held on Tuesday 1 July 2025, 7pm – 7.30pm.
