This event takes place in Room East 1 of the West Hub - just across the road from the Department. At it, three speakers will introduce us to the Department of Computer Science and Technology and some of the research – in AI, Education and the Environment – taking place here today.
- With fake news and misinformation on the rise, we need reliable ways to check the truth of what we are being told. So we’ll meet the researcher here developing an AI fact-checker that can automatically verify claims made to us online by politicians, by Chat GPT and in Wikipedia pages.
- Increasingly, authorities across the UK are making data about our local environments available online - but often in forms that don't help people see the larger patterns and insights. We’ll be introduced to new ways of visualising this data that can help us understand it better and draw conclusions from it.
- With computer science and technology impacting ever more of our everyday lives, researchers here are looking for ways to make computer science teaching more relevant to every schoolchild in every classroom.
The event will run from 14:00 - 15:00 followed by refreshments.
