Go to the bee and be wise: How AI can learn from the honeybee brain: Lecture by Professor James Marshall

15th April 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Free – £20

Professor James Marshall, Professor of Theoretical and Computational Biology at the University of Sheffield, joins us to explore how artificial intelligence can learn from the honeybee brain.

Understanding the brain has held tremendous promise for artificial intelligence since Alan Turing’s pioneering work, but the focus is usually on big-brained animals, including primates such as ourselves. Professor Marshall will reveal how, by studying the much smaller brain of the honeybee, rapid advances are being made in understanding how to build truly autonomous systems, that ’think’ the way an insect does. He will present a mixture of biological experiments, computational models, and real-world robots.

Registration for this webinar will close 2 hours prior to the start time. You will receive the webinar link 2 hours before the meeting. Late registrations will not be accepted.

This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered delegates up to 30 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom. The link will be sent 24 hours after the webinar takes place.
