'My AI Life' - Professor Mike Wooldridge reveals the huge role AI already plays in our daily lives, sometimes without us even realising what it is doing.

This is the second of the 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution, supported by CGI, on the theme 'The Truth About AI'.

We've reuploaded this one as there were moments where the original video froze.

With thanks to contributors Kaushik Subramanian (Sony AI) Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo), Kaitlin and Freya the dog (Encore Dogs), Demis Hassabis (Alpha Go, Deepmind), Emily Grossman, Rutger Zietsma (Manus Neurodynamica), Rory Cellan Jones, Ana Namburete (University of Oxford), Rivka Isaacson (King's College London), Martin Grady, Kathryn Tunyasuvunakool (Alpha Fold), Eric Drass.

Not since the World-Wide Web emerged 30 years ago has a new technology promised to change our world so fundamentally and so swiftly as AI does. Today’s AI tools such as ChatGPT and AlphaGo are just a hint of what is to come. The future of AI is going to be quite a journey, and the 2023 CHRISTMAS LECTURES to be broadcast on BBC Four and iPlayer in late December, will give us a guided tour.

AI has increasingly grabbed the headlines in recent years – generating excitement and concern in equal measure – but what should we believe? In these lectures Mike will reveal how AI works and how it will affect our lives – and will tackle head-on our hopes and fears for this most fascinating of fields.
