Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival 2024: Faking It with Toby Walsh

Often the goal of AI is to fake human intelligence, despite it being – as the name suggests – artificial and fundamentally different to human intellect. This sense of deceit has been present from the very beginning and now things like ChatGPT are able to truly deceive us. But can AI systems ever be creative? Can they be moral? What can we do to ensure they don’t become harmful? Join Professor Toby Walsh to explore all the ways AI fakes it rather than makes it, and what this means for humanity both now and in the future.
