Celebrating the Inaugural Lecture of Professor Tim Rocktäschel

This event has now sold out and remaining places are by private invitation only. The lecture will be recorded and shared at a later date. 

Abstract:

Professor Tim Rocktäschel will talk about his research towards developing increasingly capable and general Artificial Intelligence (AI). Central to this research direction is Open-Endedness: the attempt to create an AI that endlessly improves and expands its capabilities. In particular, this lecture will focus on three areas: training autonomous and robust agents that can set themselves problems and goals, training large-scale world models which can provide AIs with endless environments to learn in, and lastly, the connection of Open-Endedness methods to Large Language Models to develop AI that can improve itself.
