Oxford Generative AI Summit

💡 "Business process first, software second," - Joseph Turner, CEO of Deducta AI, raised valuable questions at #OxGen24: 👉 What’s the imperfect process in your business waiting to be automated? 👉 What truth will hold for your company tomorrow, next year, and 10 years from now?

🌐 How can we safeguard the integrity of our information ecosystem in the age of generative AI? In this highlight from #OxGen24, Dame Wendy Hall draws attention to a growing concern: AI systems hallucinate and produce incorrect information that gets recycled back into digital spaces and training data, and she argues may increasingly turn the Internet into a 'toxic swamp' of unreliable information.

💡 What could generative AI do that a human never could? In a panel at #OxGen24 on generative AI in practice, Michael Akilian, GP and Founder at Thales Partners, challenges investors in the space to think beyond the obvious. He asks: What’s something you’d never ask a person to do? The answer could unlock entirely new possibilities. What AI applications come to mind in response to this question?

🔬 How can collaboration between experimental biology and AI drive innovation? In this highlight from #OxGen24, Michael Bronstein, DeepMind Professor of AI at the University of Oxford, cautions against overhyping AI as a standalone solution for biological problems, likening blind trust in AI to alchemy. Instead, he advocates for breakthroughs driven by combining wet lab techniques with computational AI methods. Watch the full talk at this link: https://lnkd.in/giq7tX3s

🧠 Are we running out of data for generative AI? In this #OxGen24 reel, Sir Nigel Shadbolt, leading AI researcher, Principal of Jesus College Oxford, and Chairman and Co-founder of the Open Data Institute (ODI) raises a critical question: if human-generated data is running low, how can we sustain AI progress? He suggests we need to carefully evaluate how data is used and maximise its potential. What innovative solutions do you see for tackling this challenge?

📚 How can generative AI help transform public services, like education? In this highlight from #OxGen24, Chi Onwurah MP shares the UK government's plans to create a content store aimed at training AI tools for supporting teachers and reducing opportunity barriers. "By supporting the development of better tools, the government is meeting the profession where they are and setting them up for success." - Chi Onwurah MP
