Climate Change is a concern for many young people. In this episode, Aidan O'Sullivan, an associate Professor in Energy and Artificial Intelligence at UCL Energy Institute and a Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, the UK's leading centre for AI and data science research explains how his work helps tackle the environmental crisis and what to expect in the future. We also discuss his startup “Carbon Re”, a spin-out from UCL and Cambridge University focused on reducing carbon emissions.

If you have an enterprising mind, and are willing to apply your hard and soft skills to help humanity tackle climate change, tune in to learn the insights to kickstart your career path!

With the recent hype around the use of AI in education, namely ChatGPT, a lot of questions have arisen. In a conversation with Wayne Holmes, Professor at UCL and a consultant researcher on AI in education for UNESCO, we discuss this newly developed and widely available chatbot and the potential for it to change the way we teach and learn - should it be banned or embraced? With advancements in AI and EdTech companies already claiming to provide digital “personalised learning”, will teachers eventually be replaced by intelligent tutoring systems?

AGI, Deep learning, Supervised, Unsupervised… Completely lost in all those buzzwords? Don’t worry: we got you covered. 

In the first episode, we will lay the general foundation of how Artificial Intelligence was established as a field, and its development until today. We will touch on the major subfields within AI and their techniques, linking them to real-world applications and providing easy-to-understand examples.
