AI Demystified: From Algorithms to Large Language Models.
Explore AI’s evolution, how machines understand language, and how Large Language Models work, their uses and limits.
What will this presentation cover?
- The evolution of AI, from simple algorithms to modern approaches.
- How computers manage language, meaning, and the challenges of human communication.
- What Large Language Models are, how they work, and their practical applications and limitations.
AGENDA:
18:30 - Refreshments and networking
19:00 – Presentation: David Sharpe
20:00 - Q&A
21:00 - Close
Who is this event aimed at?
The general public, BCS members, university, college and school students, local businesspeople and anyone interested in understanding artificial intelligence.
SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY: David Sharpe.
David is the founder of a technology start-up focused on delivering AI driven solutions for small businesses. His work spans the development of websites and mobile applications alongside conducting cyber security reviews, with a particular emphasis on making advanced technologies accessible and practical for smaller organisations.
Originally trained in biochemistry, David subsequently moved into the financial sector, where he worked extensively with data-driven solutions. His experience includes processing and analysing financial data to support reporting and inform strategic decision making. That experience with data at scale now informs his approach to AI development.
He is particularly interested in applying modern technology to the study of ancient languages, at the point computer science, linguistics, and history meet.
Our events are for adults aged 16 years and over; children under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
THIS EVENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
The British Computer Society (Hereford & Worcester Branch) in collaboration with BIPC Worcestershire.
