The Centre was delighted to be joined by Dr Shakir Mohamed, senior staff research scientist at DeepMind, who gave a short talk titled “Queer Exceptionalism in Science” – a piece he has written for the Royal Society. The event was chaired by Prof Marc Deisenroth, a Professor of Machine Learning in the AI Centre at UCL.
Dr Mohamed has also written a blog post of the same title, which can be read here: http://blog.shakirm.com/2020/02/queer-exceptionalism-in-science/
The event was open to the public and was attended by a mix of UCL staff, students and external visitors from industry and other academic institutions, who enjoyed Dr Mohamed's talk, followed by a Fireside chat and networking event.
We would like to thank Queer in AI, UCL's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Networks, including Out@UCL for their support in the event and promotion of equality within AI and our Centre.
The Centre also took the opportunity to participate in UCL's Powered by Plants initiative
