How AI could go beyond hallucinations and illusions
Seminar How AI could go beyond hallucinations and illusions, held by Will Browne.
When: friday July 11th,2.00 pm
Where: Conference room 4 (4th floor) of the Department of Control and Computer Engineering
Speaker: Prof. Will Browne, ARM Hub
Abstract: Generative AI is pervading every day life where its hallucinations are not always desirable. Similarly, even the latest variations of Large Language Models only give the 'illusion of thinking'. But there are alternative AI approaches, such as Google's AlphaEvolve, that could offer more promising approaches to general AI. Hence, this talk explores how evolving intelligence could scale to complex problems, be adept at abstracting useful concepts and explain learnt reasoning
Bio: Professor Will Browne's expertise is in Artificial Cognitive Systems with over 30 years of experience in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. The 'Professor and Chair in Manufacturing Robotics' title is through QUT, the ARM Hub and CSIRO who have jointly invested in this position. This is to further University and Industry collaboration in the development of advanced robotics in a wide range of manufacturing, from factory operations to healthcare.
The ARM Hub is an independent not-for-profit agile technology application centre for robotics, artificial intelligence and design-led manufacturing. It is an impactful aggregator of research and development, linking private industry, cutting-edge research and Government to uplift, upskill and transform Australian manufacturing. It draws together skilled teams of scientists, technical specialists, designers, and engineers, to develop commercial, advanced manufacturing solutions. He is co-PI of the $5 million SfTI Robotics Spearhead developing the science necessary for human robot collaboration.
