💡✨Will Artificial Intelligence be the new Einstein?
We are entering a phase where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in discovering fundamental science and in healthcare. After reviewing the latest developments in both areas - including research from South African hospitals - we will explore how AI will revolutionise science before 2030 and critically examine the serious implications AI progress holds for research, academia, society and Africa.
Join Bruce is a distinguished professor of Computer Science at WITS and holds a Chair of Science in the new WITS MIND Institute. Bruce also holds the Capitec Chair of Applied AI at Stellenbosch University. His research currently covers a range on AI topics including medical and healthcare, low-resource machine translation, anomaly detection and AI for fundamental science.
