Welcome to the event: Trustworthy (artificial) intelligence only comes with real understanding of language

Location: University of Bradford's JB Priestley Library, Room 01.53.

Event Description: "Brain emulation using Patom Theory integrated with linguistic framework, Role and Reference Grammar shows the path forward for the human-machine interface."

After a time working on language-to-meaning representation, it became clear that something was lacking, and progress was being held back. Then the missing piece was discovered: the unexploited linguistic framework called Role and Reference Grammar. I have implemented it on a machine to demonstrate human-like understanding and generation of language. Even though human babies learn their mother tongue, ‘understanding’ by machines remains elusive for even today’s most powerful generative AI models. I describe the benefits of an accurate and energy efficient solution in contrast to today’s Large Language Models that are inaccurate, ‘hallucinating’, with costly ongoing processing.

Expect fresh insights, critical reflections, and open discussion on one of today’s most urgent topics.

You are welcome to attend in-person or online. All attendees will be contacted via email with instructions on joining online or in-person.

Parking is available at NCP Bradford Southgate (Thornton Rd, Bradford BD1 2AP). From there, it is a 10-minute walk to the University of Bradford's JB Priestley Library. The friendly team at the library and other colleagues will be there to greet you.
