What exactly is artificial intelligence – and how should we think about it? In this taster lecture, Professor Brian Ball will explore the deep connections between philosophy and AI.

This accessible introduction is perfect for anyone curious about how philosophical thinking can illuminate today’s most urgent technological questions.
