The Centre for AI and Digital Ethics presents Dr Iyad Rahwan, Managing Director of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. 

In this talk, using only his cartoons, Dr Rahwan will explore the popular fears of AI, their nature, their causes, and how to counter them.

This event will be hybrid but for those attending in person, the current exhibition SWARM is open in Science Gallery before the event begins.
