I'm excited and very proud to see my colleague and mentee Safa appear on this year's Royal Institute Christmas lecture. In the video, Safa is assisting Prof. Mike Woolridge (who has some excellent and sensible takes on AI by the way) with some experiments.
In general this is a well put together lecture that gives a lay summary of some of the techniques and acronyms that you're likely to come across in conversation about AI. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about what these systems do or to any relatives who might have brought up the subject of AI at the Christmas dinner table
