* Artificial intelligence: how little has to go wrong?
Autonomous weapons, driverless cars and friendly spies in the home

The Responsible Science conference - SGR’s annual conference
Saturday 3 November 2018

Is artificial intelligence evolving quicker than the regulation to manage it?
Are we sufficiently able to imagine what major problems may emerge, and can it
even be effectively regulated? This conference, with presentations and
interactive sessions will explore both obvious threats and more subtle ones.
