Talking digital and AI: An interdisciplinary approach

Sitting down with host Andy Spinoza to talk all things digital and AI are Dr Riza Batista-Navarro, Senior Lecturer in Text Mining at the University; Dr Mauricio Álvarez, Senior Lecturer in Machine Learning; and Dr Filip Bialy, Research Associate here at Manchester, Assistant Professor at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, and Lecturer at the European New School of Digital Studies. Our experts discuss Manchester technological innovation from the Industrial Revolution to present day, including the development of the Manchester ‘Baby’ – the world’s first electric stored-program computer – and Alan Turing’s pioneering work in AI. They size up the ethical and political implications of AI and digital advancements and evaluate the University’s current position as a leading centre for progress in this field – aiming to drive innovation and leverage these powerful technologies for the greater good.
